Vintage Japanese Ikebana / Decorative Vase (SKU 25D-332-2)

Minimalist Showa-era stoneware flower vase

This quietly striking Japanese vase embodies the refined simplicity of mid to late 20th-century studio pottery. Formed in a soft ovoid silhouette with a gently tilted mouth, it is finished in a subdued, speckled olive-brown glaze that recalls unglazed bizenyaki and other rustic stonewares, inviting close appreciation of its texture and firing nuances.

Three small impressed sakura-style medallions punctuate the surface, adding a discreet decorative rhythm while maintaining the vessel’s modern, sculptural presence. This piece is ideal for ikebana or as a standalone objet in a contemporary or wabi-sabi interior.

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.
