Torquoise Morikin Shirochibu Grape Pattern Vase
This product is currently available exclusively at Otonami Lounge Tokyo on the 10th floor of Daimaru Tokyo Station.
The Torquoise Morikin Shirochibu Grape Pattern Vase features a captivating light turquoise base, which beautifully complements the meticulously applied shirochibu "white dots," creating an effect of serene elegance and purity.
Adding to the vase’s allure are the leaves of grapes, rendered in both platinum and gold. This use of precious metals adds a layer of luxurious depth and contrast to the design. The platinum leaves have a subtle sheen that complements the bright sparkle of the gold, creating a dynamic interplay of metallic textures that catches the light and draws the eye.
