Flower Vase by Tetsuzan, Japan

This flower vase by Tetsuzan shows the refined craftsmanship of traditional Japanese ceramics, with a slender, elegant form and a smooth, mellow glaze. The body has an ivory-white ground, decorated above with hand-painted flowers, plants and butterflies, while a flowing wave design adds movement, giving the whole a natural, harmonious beauty. The work of the well-known Japanese potter Tetsuzan, it carries on the traditional aesthetics and delicate brushwork of Japanese ceramics, with fluent painting and soft yet layered colours. It is especially well suited to home display, a tea room setting or a collection.
