The peony, with its magnificent and luxurious bloom, is aptly associated with the symbolic meanings of regal dignity, wealth and honor, and splendor. Its rich colors and grand blossoms captivate the eye, leaving a profound impression that truly conveys the bearing of a king.
At the same time, the peony also carries the more delicate meanings of modesty and sincerity. These subtler associations reveal the flower’s inner refinement and grace behind its outward opulence. Thus, the peony embodies both grandeur and sensitivity, making it a flower cherished for centuries by many.
・Surface Coating: Urushi lacquer finish
・Base Material: Laminated wood (birch)
・Length: 23.0 cm (9.06 in)
・Handmade — One by One
Every piece from Japan Classic is formed and fired entirely by hand, in small quantities, one at a time. No two are ever exactly alike.
These handcrafted works carry slight variations in shape, weight, and surface, bearing the subtle marks of true craftsmanship rather than mass production.
・Living Glaze
On glazed pieces, you will find fine crackle patterns—known in Japan as kannyu (貫入)—naturally created as the glaze cools after firing.
This delicate finish evolves with time, reflecting the quiet beauty found in wabi-sabi ceramics.
・Elegance
Inspired by Japan’s timeless aesthetic, every piece by Japan Classic blends tradition with modern versatility.
Whether for rice, soups, or shared plates, these refined tablewares are designed for everyday beauty, maintaining their grace in both Eastern and Western settings.
