【Housewarming Gift】Iridescent Flow: Yu-ri-gin-sai No. 8.5 Vase

🌸 The Pinnacle of Japanese Painted Porcelain A hallmark of luxury porcelain—Kutani Ware 🎁 Originating from Ishikawa Prefecture (Kaga, Kanazawa, Komatsu, and Nomi cities), Kutani ware is one of the three most renowned ceramic styles in Japan. With nearly 400 years of history, it is celebrated for its exceptional quality and uniqueness, with each piece being hand-painted and fired. Kutani ware is defined by its vibrant colors, bold patterns, and frequent use of gold leaf, which grants it a distinctively opulent and noble character, making it an excellent choice for gifting. 🌈 Silver Foil Beneath the Glaze: A Dreamy, Jewel-Like Radiance This piece is from the Soushu Kiln of Kutani, featuring the kiln's signature mark on the base. It utilizes the modern 'yu-ri-gin-sai' technique, for which the Soushu Kiln is particularly famous. Soft pink and blue gradients decorate the bottle, while large pieces of silver foil are set within, appearing and disappearing beneath the clear glaze. As light catches the pink, blue, and silver, it creates a deep, gem-like luminosity, while the fine crazing across the surface adds rich, captivating texture. 'Yu-ri-gin-sai' involves applying silver foil in various shapes to the piece before covering it with a transparent or tinted glaze and firing. This allows the glass-like glaze and the brilliance of the silver to interact in layers, showcasing subtle gradients that shift with the light. Unlike the bold, vivid colors of traditional Kutani ware, this piece presents a light, modern aesthetic through its soft pink and blue tones combined with silver accents. At 25.5 cm tall, the slender vase is striking even without flowers, serving as an elegant and artistic centerpiece for an entryway, living room, or any modern home space. 🎁 Purchase a base here: www.pinkoi.com/product/HT2p4DtZ ※ Includes a paper box ※ Vase dimensions: Diameter 10cm × Height 25.5cm ※ Each piece is handcrafted by artisans.
