This round pewter vase, crafted by Osaka Suzuki, represents the heritage of Osaka Naniwa Pewter Ware, a craft tradition with over 300 years of history dating back to the Edo period. The vase’s form is compact yet weighty, with a diameter proportionate to its height of 15 cm (5.9 in), giving it balance and presence. Its surface features an intricate engraved landscape scene, likely inspired by Japanese seasonal views, with bridges, trees, and distant mountains rendered in fine, precise lines.
Made from high-quality tin, the vase is naturally resistant to rust and discoloration. Tin has long been valued in Japan for its ability to purify water by absorbing impurities, which has made it a favored material not only for tableware but also for decorative and ceremonial vessels. Its smooth metallic sheen deepens over time, gaining character without losing its integrity.
The Osaka Suzuki workshop is one of the most respected producers of pewterware in Japan, responsible for around 70% of the nation’s tin products. Their team includes certified traditional craftsmen and specialists who work by hand, ensuring that every piece meets the highest standards of precision and finish.
While functional for holding water, this vase is primarily appreciated as a decorative object, whether displayed on its own, used for ikebana flower arrangements, or given as a meaningful gift. The engraved landscape carries a sense of peace and continuity, making it suitable for both traditional and modern interiors.
