Description

Vintage Japanese Vase (SKU 25D-253-1)

Showa-era tsubo-style vase with deep brown, almost black, metallic glaze

This sculptural vintage Japanese vase presents a rounded tsubo silhouette articulated by evenly spaced vertical ribs, recalling a gently faceted gourd form. Finished in a rich, near-black chocolate glaze with a subtle metallic sheen, it catches the light beautifully while remaining understated and minimalist, ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

The small, softly lobed mouth and generous body make it perfect for simple ikebana arrangements or for displaying as an objet d’art on its own. Typical of late Showa sensibilities, the design balances modern clean lines with a quiet, organic presence that harmonizes effortlessly with wood, stone, and neutral palettes.
