This elegant wooden flower vase, or hanaire, is made from paulownia wood and finished with a dark lacquered surface. Its slender vertical shape, slightly asymmetrical opening and wooden carrying handle give the piece a quiet, almost architectural presence.
The front is delicately decorated with a floral motif in maki-e, a traditional Japanese lacquer technique in which gold or metallic powder is applied into the lacquer. The fine lines, floral details and warm golden accents contrast beautifully with the dark wood, giving the piece a refined and understated decorative character.
This type of wooden hanaire connects with the aesthetics of the Japanese tea ceremony and chabana, the simple seasonal flower arrangement often placed in the tea room. The focus lies on simplicity, natural materials and seasonal beauty. At 30 cm tall, with its natural wood grain and delicate decoration, this object works beautifully as both a decorative collector's piece and a subtle ikebana-style display vessel.
The vase comes with its accompanying box.
