About the Item

A celebration of color, movement, and fine detail, this Kutani-style ceramic vase is alive with fluttering butterflies and blossoms in full bloom. Against a soft ivory ground, delicate florals unfurl in a rhythmic cascade of ochre, russet, and gold, each petal and wing edged in fine brushwork and glinting highlights. The butterflies drift through the composition with a quiet grace, their forms nestled among bursts of chrysanthemums, daisies, and abstracted flora, like a spring garden suspended in air. A frieze of diamonds encircles the flared neck (showcasing a 4.25" diameter opening), while scalloped patterns at the base evoke waves or the layered feathers of a mythical bird. The overall effect is both intricate and light, with a sense of joyful abundance that invites the eye to wander. Elegant in form and richly adorned, the vase lends itself to display on its own or as a vessel for tall branches or seasonal blooms. A luminous and lyrical piece, it brings warmth and movement to any interior.
