Item descriptions This elegant Japanese ceramic vase was produced by Tachikichi, a well-known Kyoto-based tableware and ceramics brand with a long tradition in Japanese craftsmanship. The vase features a beautifully balanced rounded bottle form with a narrow neck, giving it a modern yet timeless silhouette. The most striking element of this piece is its unique glaze: the upper part is finished in a soft metallic brown tone, which gradually transitions into a vivid emerald green gradient toward the lower body. The surface displays a delicate speckled texture created during the firing process, producing a refined visual depth and a slightly matte metallic appearance. This subtle color transition evokes natural landscapes such as mist over green hills or moss-covered stones, reflecting the aesthetic sensibility often found in contemporary Japanese ceramics. Its minimalist form makes it suitable both as a functional flower vase and as a decorative art object. Even without flowers, the piece stands beautifully as a sculptural element in modern interiors. The base is neatly finished and shows the careful craftsmanship typical of Tachikichi ceramics. This vase likely dates from the late Showa to early Heisei period (昭和後期〜平成初期 / approximately 1980s–1990s) when Tachikichi produced many refined contemporary ceramic designs.
