Mid Century Kusaba Masato Ikebana Vase – Arita Porcelain.

Let your flowers shine in this exquisite ikebana vase by renowned Japanese ceramic artist Kusaba Masato, whose work masterfully blends Arita's centuries-old porcelain traditions with contemporary design, inspired by natural textures.

Dimensions: 24 cm (height) × 14 cm (diameter).

Using his signature sgraffito technique, Masato created a mesmerizing surface where earthy tones—from olive green to sand—gradually blend, enriched by black patterns suggesting abstract organic motifs. The cylindrical form, crafted from premium Arita porcelain, showcases a masterful interplay of textures, including subtle crackle effects that add vibrant depth.

The decoration reveals organic abstractions: stylized leaves, branches, or tree bark textures revolve around a central motif resembling a flower or seedpod. Radial lines create movement, while the varied surface texture—with its crackle patterns—adds a tactile dimension.

The vase comes with:

• Original tomobako (wooden storage box)
• Kidofuda (authentic signed nameplate)
• Artist’s hand-signed mark on the white porcelain base

More than just a functional flower vase, this is a standalone art piece equally suited for minimalist modern interiors or traditional Japanese settings. A true celebration of craftsmanship and natural beauty.
