Japanese Ceramic Vase – Kutaniyaki Bamboo Sparrow Gold Glaze

Japanese Ceramic Vase – Kutaniyaki Bamboo Sparrow Gold Glaze

A moment of nature suspended in time. The Take-Kage Suzume (竹影雀 — Sparrow in Bamboo Shadow) Vase brings to life the graceful stillness of sparrows nestled among bamboo — rendered through the timeless art of Kutaniyaki in a bold rectangular silhouette with a luminous golden glaze.

Design Details

• Bold rectangular form — sculptural and striking
• Hand-painted inky black bamboo stalks with vivid emerald green leaves
• Sparrow motif resting quietly beneath the bamboo shade
• Luminous golden glaze background with delicate speckling for depth and texture
• Glossy, enamel-like finish with contrasting black, green, and gold palette
• Each brushstroke is unique — no two vases are exactly alike

Kutaniyaki Craftsmanship

Crafted using traditional Kutani techniques from Ishikawa Prefecture, the vase’s glossy enamel-like finish and delicate speckling add depth and texture to the surface. The contrasting colors of deep black, emerald green, and golden yellow create a visual rhythm that is both refined and striking.

Ideal for floral arrangements or as a statement accent piece in entryways, tea corners, sideboards, or any space that calls for a touch of Japanese artistry.
