Perfect for Traditional Flower Arranging or Your Own Creations!
High-quality double glazing distinguishes this fine vase.

The vase used for classical Japanese flower-arranging ("Ikebana"), this splendid double-glazed work of art is ideal for showing off any blooms, from a single giant Lily to a delicate arrangement of blooms, foliage, and stems. Elegant and versatile, it will quickly become your "vase of choice" for showing off your finest garden flowers.

Shaped a bit like a saki pitcher, this vase stands 8 inches high and is 2 inches in diameter at the base. Hand-thrown, it boasts a pure black underglaze covered with dark red. The black base glaze adds depth and texture to the finish, showing through as tiny dots and around the top and bottom edges of the vase. Such workmanship and detailing is hard to find, especially for such a good price, but this Ichibana Vase is part of the Estate Ceramics series of renowned garden pottery.

The simple shape of this vase adds versatility to its presentation. You will find it as suitable for showing off a single giant Hydrangea blossom as for displaying a stalk of flowering Gaura, Corkscrew Rush, or ornamental grasses. Nicely weighted at the base, it will not topple, and its modified hourglass shape creates a pleasing silhouette for tabletop or mantel display.
