Ichirinzasi / single flower vase 002

Cosmic Wabi-Sabi: A Miniature Vase Inspired by the Planets and Japanese Aesthetics.

This small flower vase, Ichirinzasi 001, merges the vast, swirling atmosphere of Jupiter with the subtle tranquility of Japanese style. Its sculptural form is striking enough to be appreciated as a beautiful object (objet d'art) even without a flower.

Key Features & Design

• Cosmic Surface: Built upon a black clay base and coated with a feldspar-based decorative slip. The painterly pattern is achieved by applying a brush while the piece spins, creating mesmerizing, fluid lines.
• Volcanic Edges: The rim features a textured Lava Glaze, whose rough edges enhance the impression of an otherworldly, cosmic landscape.
• Artist's Recommendation: Ryo Konishi suggests using this vase for a single, bold statement flower, as the simplicity of the bloom perfectly complements the vase's complex texture.
• Dual Function: Its refined form makes it a powerful decorative piece on its own, bringing the contemplative beauty of contemporary Japanese craft to any space.

Important Care Instructions

• Do NOT use in a dishwasher, microwave oven, or oven.
• The bowl / vase is suitable for hot items, but please avoid pouring boiling water directly into a heavily chilled vessel, as the thermal shock may occasionally cause cracking.
• After washing, completely drain the water and allow the piece to air dry thoroughly (ideally in a cool, shaded place) to prevent mold or cracking.
• Stacking: While it is ideal to store the pieces without stacking, if you must stack them, please do so carefully with similar sizes and curves to avoid undue stress on the pottery.
• Color Change (Patina): The ceramic surface will naturally change color over time. Dark liquids such as soy sauce or coffee may stain the surface if left in the item for long periods
•  Stain Removal: If staining is a concern, soaking the item in an oxygen-based bleach may help remove the stains (use at your own risk).
