Japanese Ceramic Ikebana Vase With Kenzan Flower Frog Attached By Mizuyama 9"

This is a hand thrown ceramic Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) vase by Mizuyama and stamped and numbered by the artist. The glaze is a brown glaze with stamp pressed zig-zag shapes around the body. The body tapers in and rests on a high foot that projects from the belly of the vase 1.5" off the surface giving the appearance of floating. Off center of the bowl of the vase is a spiny flower frog or kenzan adhered to the bottom of the vessel making easy work of prepping your vase for flowers. The heavy ceramic at 5 lbs provides a sturdy base for larger and taller arrangements.

 Measuring 8" in diameter by 4" tall (20 x 10 cm) this vase remains in very good condition.
