Flower Vases
This collection brings together Japanese flower vases crafted in a variety of materials, from hand-painted porcelain to finely woven bamboo. Ranging from small vessels for a single stem to generously sized bouquet vases, each piece is designed to highlight flowers and greenery, while many remain visually striking as a decorative accent in the home.
Kinsai
Kinsai refers to techniques used to apply gold leaf or gold paint to ceramics. Both terms also refer to the works produced by these techniques. Gold leaf or paint is applied over the ceramics’ glaze or overglaze decoration and then fired at a lower temperature than the overglaze itself.
Gold leaf and gold paint are valuable materials. In addition, gold leaf is very thin and particularly difficult to handle. Works flawlessly decorated with these materials reveal the extraordinary skill of the artisan.
