These vases are designed for the Japanese art of flower arrangement, known as Ikebana, which focuses on creating harmonious and expressive floral designs with minimal stems.
They include a "flower frog" or "kenzan," a heavy metal base with sharp needles, which helps secure and arrange flowers within the vessel.
The vases feature handcrafted ceramic designs, as seen in the examples with the butterfly and dragonfly motifs.
They can be used with fresh flowers by adding water or left empty to display dried floral arrangements.
