Moonlit Lake and Bird Narrow Neck Vase 9.4 Inch - Elegant Floral Arrangement Centerpiece for Home Decor, Wedding, Dining Table

Product Description

This elegant Kutani vase boasts a refined silhouette that speaks to centuries of Japanese porcelain mastery. Renowned artisan Taka Toshifumi has captured a tranquil nocturnal scene—misty mountains glimmer beneath a soft moonlight, while a poised kingfisher rests at the water’s edge—rendered in precise, feather-light brushstrokes and a vivid, uplifting color scheme. The shades of the bird’s plumage transition seamlessly, reminiscent of a delicate wash in fine watercolor art.

A slim crescent moon arcs across a misty gold sky, its curve and the vessel’s lip subtly highlighted with gold in a wave motif. Through the celebrated kinsai technique, which applies gold with sumptuous restraint, Taka harmonizes classic opulence with his modern sensibility. 

Kinsai is known for its use of gold to create intricate and luxurious designs. This technique involves applying gold leaf or paste to porcelain, forming elaborate patterns that are then fixed with an overglaze. The process is labor-intensive, requiring precision in placing the gold. The result is a striking interplay between the gleaming gold and the vivid Kutani Gosai, or five colors, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship and adding a rich, shimmering dimension.

Perfect for both traditional toko alcoves and contemporary living spaces, this vase stands as a statement piece. Whether showcased with a minimalist ikebana arrangement or left to speak for itself, it brings an atmosphere of elegance and storied craftsmanship to any room. Packaged in a premium wooden box, it makes an unforgettable gift.
