A classic Ohara vase designed for Heika arrangements. Its tall, slender form provides the depth needed for arranging branches, flowers, and other materials while creating the strong vertical and directional lines characteristic of Heika. The defined rim also assists with the mechanics of positioning slanting or inclining materials.
The vase features a rich, deep blue Namako glaze, a traditional Japanese ceramic glaze known for its distinctive blue tones. The dark color provides a beautiful backdrop for both flowers and branches while allowing the colors and textures of the plant materials to stand out.
A versatile choice for students and experienced arrangers alike, this is an excellent vase to have on hand for practicing and creating Ohara School Heika arrangements.
Imported from Japan. Approximately 12.5 inches tall. Deep blue Namako glaze.
In ceramics, though, namako-yū (海鼠釉) means “namako glaze” or “sea-cucumber glaze.” It is a traditional glaze name associated especially with deep blue tones, often with dark blue, lighter bluish or whitish mottling or flowing effects. The name comes from the glaze's resemblance to the appearance of a sea cucumber.
