Description
The Yuzawa is a ceramic vase in black and white, with a body that swells gently from a narrow neck and rounds into a broad base. Its lower part is wrapped in a band of black that rises and falls in a soft wave, while the white upper part carries loose black brush strokes: a sweeping curve on one side and a run of short dashes across the other. The surface has a glossy finish that catches the light. It stands 26cm tall and 15cm across, with an opening 7cm wide and a capacity of 3.2 litres, so there is room for a generous bunch of stems.
This is a piece for indoors, at home on a side table beside the sofa, a sideboard in the hall, a bedroom chest of drawers or a kitchen shelf. The monochrome palette sits comfortably with grey walls, dark wood and black metal, and it holds its own against a bolder colour where you want the contrast to show. We like it with dried grasses, whose warm tones soften the graphic pattern, but it is just as handsome standing empty as a sculptural shape in its own right. At 26cm tall it is a good height for a mantelpiece or a console, low enough to sit beneath a picture without crowding it.
Ceramic is fired clay, hard and dense, and here it carries a glossy surface with the black and white pattern laid across the body. The vase weighs 0.83KG, so it is easy to lift down for a fresh arrangement or move from room to room, yet it still feels solid in the hand. As a practical note, measure the spot you have in mind first: at 26cm tall and 15cm across, it needs a shelf at least 15cm deep and a little headroom above its rim.
