Yazaemon Somenishiki Rock Flower Bird Flower Vase

This vase is a beautifully decorated item reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship handed down for generations within Arita Porcelain Lab's long history. The technique displayed in this bowl is called somenishiki where the vase is first glazed with white and blue patterns and then is further decorated with detailed hand painted drawings. 

As one the largest vases within the collection, this vase stands as a piece of art on its own: the colorfully designed flowers, the delicately painted bird feathers and the bottom and the top decorated with gold leaf and floral patterns. 

This vase will hold bold and big flowers such as lilies shown in the photo. But needless to say, this vase would make a great piece to place on a side table in your entrance or hallway. Surprise a friend or neighbor with this beautiful vase as a housewarming gift.
