Signed Ikebana Japonisme Pottery Display

About the Item

An artist-signed, hand-built, glazed pottery Ikebana piece; this distinctive, handcrafted ceramic container designed for the Japanese art of Ikebana, the practice of arranging flowers in a manner that emphasizes balance, simplicity, and harmony with nature. This type of vase is not only a functional piece for floral displays but also a work of art in its own right, crafted by a skilled ceramicist, bearing a signature at the base, "M. Franklin". This piece has a lustrous glaze in rich organic, colors and earth tones. True to the principles of Ikebana, the shape of the vase is carefully designed to harmonize with the art of floral arrangement, a sleek, low-profile, wide stance allows for the dynamic, spacious flower placement. In this piece, a narrow neck with internal elements that help secure stems in place, ensuring that the arrangements are balanced and poised. We have displayed this piece with dried craspedia and are including them for the buyer as we feel they work perfectly in this piece. Aesthetic and Symbolic Significance: The connection between the vase and Ikebana is profound—beyond being a mere vessel, it embodies the principles of Japanese aesthetics such as wabi-sabi (the beauty of imperfection) and shibui (subtle elegance). Whether you're a collector, a flower arrangement enthusiast, or an admirer of fine craftsmanship, such a piece brings timeless elegance and harmony into any space.
