Kinsai Yuzen Moon Japanese Flower Vase with Stand

This large round vase features an abstract depiction of the moon and comes with a stand that lends it a chic, elevated presence. Inspired by Yuzen dyeing, a traditional Japanese textile art known for its naturalistic imagery, rich colors, precise outlines, and intricate details, the design is accented with delicate kinsai gold detailing that catches the light and enhances its flowing composition.

Its generous, rounded form is well suited for displaying long stems, fuller branches, or a generous bouquet, allowing blooms to fan out naturally from every angle. Equally striking with or without flowers, the vase also serves as an elegant decorative accent on a shelf, mantel, or tabletop.

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.
