This gourd-shaped porcelain vase is a remarkable work of art, crafted from Amakusa ceramic stone sourced in Kumamoto Prefecture. Celebrated for its translucent white hue and pearly texture, this material enhances the vase’s sophisticated appeal.
The intricate chrysanthemum decoration exemplifies the craftsmanship of the Hirado Kohsyo Danemon Kiln. Each flower is painstakingly handcrafted using a pointed bamboo tool, with petals carefully carved one by one from a lump of clay. After the initial carving, the petals are delicately raised and arranged into graceful chrysanthemum blooms. Once glazed and fired, the petals develop a soft, natural look reminiscent of real chrysanthemums.
With its refined design, this vase makes an elegant statement as a decorative piece, bringing timeless beauty to any interior space.

Maker / Brand
As the direct descendant of Goryeo-on, one of the founders of the Mikawachi ware in Nagasaki Prefecture, Hirado Kohsyo Danemon Kiln has been carrying on the technique for 400 years and is highly regarded both in Japan and abroad for its outstanding technique and artistic sensibility in design.
Crafts
Mikawachi ware, also known as Hirado ware, is a pottery made in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Known for its translucent white porcelain, it was highly popular in Europe during the trend toward Japanese crafts in the West in the 20th century. Mikawachi ware is remarkable for its delicate modeling techniques that push the limits of porcelain, such as openwork and relief carving, and for its beautiful painting that looks like a single piece of art.

Cool Off With Shades of Blue
Bring Japanese hues into your space this summer with tableware and decor in shades of blue. Featuring minimalist geometric patterns, modern styles, and intricately painted designs, the items in this collection are sure to introduce a little extra zing to your late-summer table.
One of the most classic Japanese blues is cobalt: a rich, bold color that works as well as a statement piece as it does as a backdrop for food or a canvas for detail. You will often find cobalt blues contrasted with pure white, a timeless pairing known in Japanese as sometsuke. Another favorite is navy blue, a sophisticated color seen throughout Japanese art. Adding navy is a great way to ground a table. Last but not least is mizu-iro, literally “water blue,” a pale aqua that suggests the refreshing coolness of the ocean.
So, embrace the rich palette of blue and rejuvenate your final weeks of summer.
