This exquisite shiyoyaki salt-fired flower vase, handcrafted by Sakuma Fujiya (佐久間 藤也) from Mashiko, celebrates beauty in everyday objects. The flower vase blue and white tones complement any flower colour palette, it complements both modern and Japanese-inspired interiors and can be used as a decorative object or for floral arrangements. 

The traditional shioyaki (salt-firing) technique used in their creation involves introducing salt into the kiln at high temperatures, resulting in a natural, semi-matte glaze with beautiful, unique variations.

To care for the vase, clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners, and store in a dry environment.
