Lens Vase

The lens vase is ideal for ikebana flower arrangements. Its form contrasts a smooth, round, hand-inviting vessel shape with a torn opening from which flowers seem to explode. Each lens vase is a work of art on its own, but the understated design allows it to yield chief place to a flower arrangement. Each Lens Vase comes with an appropriately sized pin frog (kenzan) to allow you to use it for your own flower arrangements. Flowers shown are not included.

Lens vases are not cast in a mold. They are constructed one at a time from heavy brass sheet, with hand tools and traditional forming and forging techniques, and are patinaed by hand using traditional sculptural patinas.
