Large Japanese Bizen Flower Vase | Wood-Fired Pottery with Natural Flame Patterns | Chikoyaki

A large handmade Japanese Bizen flower vase (hanaire) by Chikoyaki. Wood-fired for several days, it features rich brown-black tones and natural ash glaze streaks, embodying the deep wabi-sabi beauty of Bizen ware.

This Bizen hanaire (flower vase) is a testament to the timeless craft of Japan’s ancient kilns. Handmade and wood-fired without glaze, its surface bears the marks of intense heat and falling ash - resulting in natural golden streaks and subtle gradients from deep umber to smoky charcoal.

Each firing in a traditional wood kiln brings forth unpredictable transformations known, making every Bizen piece truly one of a kind.

The vase’s robust form and earthy tones evoke a sense of stillness and imperfection - the heart of wabi-sabi aesthetics. Perfect for displaying seasonal branches, ikebana, or as a standalone art object in a Zen-inspired space.
