Jujube Flower Pattern Shigaraki Ware Flower Vase
This Shigaraki-ware vase has a rustic texture of rough clay with a bright gold-painted floral pattern. One of the charms of this vase is that each piece has a different surface color depending on the temperature at the time of firing.
The floral pattern is modeled after jujubes, which have long been used as a herbal medicine in China, and are a tree that bears fruit rich in nutrients. In early summer, it grows glossy branches and produces pale yellow flowers beside its leaves.
It is a diameter of 13cm(5.1in) and a height of 15.5cm(6.1in).
Its simple design makes it easy to use and suits modern interiors. Simply display this as a home-accent piece, or fill them with flowers or greenery.
Shigaraki ware is a Japanese stoneware produced in the area around the town of Shigaraki, Koga City, Shiga Prefecture. It is characterized by its rough, fire-resistant clay, and is made by mixing and kneading together several raw materials with clay from the bottom layer of Lake Biwa.
Shigaraki ware is a great choice for Japanese style flower vases. It is loved in the world of tea ceremony as they enhance the colors of flowers and greens and make them look more beautiful, bringing an air of liveliness to your living space.
