Yoshidaya Hamanasu & Bird Kutani Bud Vase – Bizan Kiln

A green-and-blue bird perches on a fine branch above Hamanasu roses, their blue and lilac petals framed by richly coloured leaves. A luminous yellow ground gives the scene warmth, while delicate outlines bring the flowers and foliage into focus.By Bizan Kiln, this Yoshidaya-style Kutani bud vase pairs expressive decoration with a compact, sculptural form. The broad rectangular face has gently undulating edges, and a small patterned neck adds a finishing detail above the floral scene.At 15 cm wide, 5 cm deep and 12 cm high, it fits neatly on a shelf, console or bedside table. A single slender flower or a few fine sprigs complement its small opening; displayed empty, the vase has enough colour and detail to stand on its own.Decorated in Nomi, Ishikawa, and made in Japan from ceramic, it is presented in a gift box. A thoughtful choice for someone who enjoys Japanese craft, botanical designs or a small arrangement of seasonal flowers.
