Ginsai Colors Japanese Flower Vase

Soft hues and shimmering silver come together in this contemporary flower vase crafted with the ginsai technique. Silver leaf is applied to the surface and layered with translucent glazes before firing, creating a gentle play of light and color that shifts beautifully from every angle.

At 19 cm (7.5 in) in height, this vase is tall and sturdy, suited to hold branches or long-stemmed flowers, while refined to be displayed on its own. The smooth cylindrical form and radiant finish lend an understated beauty that complements both modern and traditional interiors.

Available in a range of refined colors, this vase comes packaged in a decorative gift box—an ideal choice for those who appreciate subtle color and Japanese craftsmanship.

Kutani ware is a traditional Japanese porcelain from the Kaga region in Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. Known for its vibrant overglaze enamel designs and use of five signature colors, known as Kutani gosai—navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow pigments. This timeless craft has continuously evolved through generations of artisans who balance innovation with a deep respect for tradition. 

Kutani ware exhibits a diverse range of distinctive styles, shaped by evolving artistic tastes over the centuries. Styles such as ko-Kutani, with its bold colors, geometric patterns, and painterly detail, and akae-saibyo, marked by ultra-fine red lines. Many pieces feature traditional Japanese motifs, such as kacho (flowers and birds) and sansui (landscapes), offering a timeless glimpse into the beauty of nature and the seasons.
