Plum Blossom & Bush Warbler Art Vase — by Nakamura Toshito

A poetic celebration of early spring, this Kutani ware art vase by acclaimed ceramic artist Nakamura Toshito features hand-painted plum blossoms and a bush warbler — a beloved seasonal motif in Japanese art symbolizing renewal and quiet beauty.

The softly contoured porcelain form becomes a living canvas where delicate plum branches bloom and the small bird rests with lifelike warmth. Nakamura’s brushwork captures movement and personality with remarkable sensitivity, preserving the spontaneity of traditional Kutani painting. Each vase is painted entirely by hand, making every piece uniquely expressive.

Perfectly sized for tabletop display, this vase functions as both a flower vessel and sculptural art object. Whether styled with a simple stem or displayed alone, it brings a calm seasonal elegance to tea spaces, shelves, or curated interiors.

Presented in a traditional kiribako (paulownia wood box), it is ideal for collectors or meaningful gifting.
