An elegant Japanese porcelain vase by Fujii Shumei (1936–2017), combining a beautifully rounded silhouette with a rich, dark glaze and delicate silver-coloured plum blossoms.
The floral decoration flows across the curved body, creating a striking contrast against the glossy black surface. A short, gently flared neck completes the balanced form, giving the vase a sculptural presence even when displayed without flowers.
Made in Arita, Japan, a town renowned for its porcelain tradition, this signed vase offers a refined accent for both contemporary and traditional interiors. Particularly attractive displayed on a sideboard, in an illuminated cabinet or as a standalone piece.
