This ring-shaped vase showcases the iro-Nabeshima (colored Nabeshima) style with a kaleidoscope design, a traditional Nabeshima pattern.
This vase is perfect to showcase flowers and vines such as ivy or clematis. As shown in the photo, decorating a vanda flower with its large petals also looks stunning.
Alternatively, the size of this vase is suitable for arranging these beautiful blooms softly alongside greenery. Whether you opt for classic designs or something more unique, this vessel will add a touch of elegance to any space.
The style of iro-Nabeshima has traditional rules, consisting of one color for sometsuke (indigo blue) and three colors for akae (red, yellow, and green). After the outline is drawn in indigo blue gosu pigment, overglaze painting in red, kibi (yellow), and moe (green) is used to color in the design. Although it may seem that many colors are used, in fact, only three are applied—a hallmark of iro-Nabeshima—and its beauty is regarded as the pinnacle of Japanese porcelain.

Crafts
Nabeshima ware is a type of porcelain crafted at the meticulously managed Nabeshima domain kiln. This kiln, which operated as a government-run project under the direct supervision of the Saga Nabeshima domain, flourished during the early Edo period (1603–1868 CE).
For approximately 250 years, Nabeshima ware was reserved solely and exclusively for shoguns and feudal lords, with the kilns producing exquisite pieces in styles like iro-Nabeshima (overglaze enamel), ai-Nabeshima (sometsuke), and Nabeshima seiji (celadon). After the feudal system ended, the kilns were privatized, welcoming new potters and giving rise to what is now known as Imari Nabeshima ware.
