ABOUT PRODUCTID 13757
This Japanese lacquer vase from the 1950s demonstrates the refined craftsmanship of traditional lacquerware: the body features a classic, full ovoid profile with a gently tapered base and neck, all finished in a deep, mirror-like black. Balanced proportions evoke Japanese design of the mid-20th century, while a delicate mother-of-pearl inlay forms an asymmetrical motif of bamboo stems and leaves, resonating with the principles of Japanese composition. The inlay shimmers with iridescent shades of white, blue, and pale violet, providing a luxurious contrast against the monochrome lacquered surface. The material is perfectly smooth and free from visible cracks, chips, or abrasions. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with no evidence of repairs or restoration; all elements remain original.The vase echoes the post-war Japanese minimalism: its lustrous lacquer reflects light like a tranquil lake, the silhouette remains both understated and harmonious, and the iridescent mother-of-pearl inlay draws the viewer in, reminiscent of a breeze through bamboo groves. The asymmetric decoration hints at the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, where the beauty of imperfection and nature converge in contemplative calm.The vase can serve as a focal point on a lacquered wood sideboard or among pale paper and fine ceramics. It pairs well with subtle ornaments—such as a low tsuba bowl or a minimalist white cup—and also within larger compositions inspired by Japanese spatial arrangement. A mid-century modern, minimalist, or collector-oriented interior allows its understated refinement to resonate fully, while the addition of natural fabrics and daylight enhances the depth of the lacquer finish.
