Description from the seller
Koransha – Arita Porcelain Vase – Gold and White Cranes on Green Glaze – Original Wooden Box
Although the title of the work is not written on the original wooden box, this vase is identified as "Tsuru no Mai" (Dance of the Cranes), a well-known Koransha series featuring elegant flying cranes against a rich emerald-green background.
The vase is decorated with graceful flying cranes (Hikaku) rendered in brilliant gold and white over a deep, glossy emerald-green gradient glaze. The contrast between the luminous gold, pure white porcelain, and the vibrant green creates a refined and timeless design, characteristic of Koransha's finest porcelain.
The set is complete with its original signed wooden storage box (tomobako), All accessories are present, and the overall condition is excellent.
In Japanese culture, cranes have long symbolized longevity, happiness, prosperity, and good fortune. For this reason, this vase is not only an outstanding decorative work of art for a tokonoma alcove or entrance hall, but also a meaningful gift for milestone celebrations such as a 60th birthday (Kanreki), 70th birthday (Koki), housewarmings, or other special occasions.

For eligible orders shipped to the EU with an item value of €150 or less, VAT will be charged by catawiki at checkout under the IOSS system, and the applicable IOSS information will be provided for customs clearance.
This does not mean that all import duties have been paid.
As of July 1, 2026, an import duty of €3 per item applies in the EU to low-value imports, subject to applicable rules.
Delivery or customs fees may also be charged. For orders over €150, and for destinations outside the EU, import taxes, duties, and surcharges depend on the country of destination. All import duties are payable by the buyer.
【IMPORTANT — TRACK THE SHIPMENT AND RESPOND TO THE DUOR NIGHTS】
Please check the tracking information regularly after shipment, especially as soon as the package arrives in your country. Packages may be held for customs or payment formalities, even if no email, letter, or phone call has reached the recipient. Do not assume that no action is required simply because you have not received a notification.
If the tracking indicates that the package is awaiting customs clearance, payment, information, or delivery arrangements — or if it stops moving after arrival in your country — please contact your local customs authority or EMS/FedEx immediately, using the tracking number. Respond promptly to any request for documents or payment, and arrange delivery or collection within the carrier's storage period. The recipient must complete the import procedures required in his/her country; I cannot do this on behalf of the customs authority of the destination country.
Failure to take the required steps may result in the package being returned. If a return occurs because import duties have not been paid or the required customs or delivery procedures have not been completed, the buyer is responsible for any costs for return shipping and reshipping.
