Flow of Stars
This Japanese Ikebana vase features a broad flared form, narrowing elegantly towards the base, creating a silhouette that balances both strength and refinement. The surface is coated in a deep earthen black glaze, accented with flowing vertical gold lines that ripple like streams of light. Alongside the lines, soft speckled patterns of bronze and silvershimmer faintly, resembling stardust drifting through the night sky or sunlight filtering onto a forest floor.
Its design captures the Japanese essence of yūgen (幽玄) – subtle beauty and hidden depth that invites contemplation. Ideal for both traditional upright ikebana styles and modern abstract arrangements, this vase becomes not only a vessel but a presence that enhances the flowers it holds.
