Vintage Japanese Vase, Showa Era (SKU 25D-082-1)

Showa-era Japanese studio vase with deep blue-green crystalline glaze and original signed tomobako

This elegant vintage Japanese vase presents a softly swollen pear form rising to a narrow neck and flared lip, finished with a refined metal-rimmed mouth. The body is enveloped in a lustrous blue-green glaze, veined with fine golden-brown patterns that evoke clouds drifting over a night landscape. In hand, the surface has a rich, glassy depth typical of high-quality Showa-period studio ceramics.

Accompanied by its original wooden tomobako storage box, brush-inscribed on the lid, this piece is ideal as a single ikebana vase or as a sculptural object on a tokonoma or modern shelf. The dramatic yet harmonious glaze makes it a versatile accent that pairs beautifully with both traditional Japanese interiors and contemporary minimalist spaces.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
