This is a net-patterned flower vase crafted by Keisuke 啓佑 of Takaoka bronze ware. It consists of four sides, with a chrysanthemum crest and paired cranes depicted on the front. On the back, there is a depiction of morning glories and small birds flying. Wouldn't it be just the right size for arranging small flowers elegantly? The net-patterned flower vase has a simple shape with a net pattern, suitable for gracefully showcasing a single flower stem.
