Item Description 朱山 Shuzan — Nagasaki Sansai Tricolor Glazed Flower Vase This delightful low-profile flower vase is a fine example of Nagasaki Sansai (長崎三彩) ware, bearing the mark of 朱山 Shuzan. The squat, gourd-like silhouette is adorned with Nagasaki Sansai's signature tricolor glaze — vivid green, warm amber, and deep reddish-brown — flowing organically across the surface in a manner unique to each individually fired piece. The narrow neck and compact rounded body give it a grounded, meditative presence, equally suited to holding a single stem or displayed as a standalone decorative object. Nagasaki Sansai ware traces its aesthetic heritage to East Asian three-color ceramic traditions, adapted over generations into a distinctly Japanese regional craft. Shuzan's pieces are prized for their harmonious glaze distribution and quiet artisanal character, embodying the warmth and nostalgia of Showa-era Japanese craft culture. A wonderful piece for collectors of Japanese ceramics, folk crafts, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of hand-glazed pottery. Size Height: 8.5 cm Width: 9.5 cm Depth: 9.5 cm Weight 173 g Condition In good used condition with no prominent scratches or stains; minor superficial wear consistent with gentle use is present but barely noticeable. Artist Profile 朱山 Shuzan is a ceramic artist associated with the Nagasaki Sansai (長崎三彩) tradition, a regional pottery style from Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Nagasaki Sansai ware is distinguished by its characteristic three-color glaze palette — typically combining greens, ambers, and reddish-browns — applied to a porcelain body. The tradition reflects the multicultural heritage of Nagasaki as a historic port of cultural exchange. Works bearing the Shuzan mark are sought after by collectors of Japanese folk ceramics and Showa-era craft.
