No. 37 Flower Vase – Small

This piece was born from Shintaro Enami’s experience raising his own children and incorporates the many things he has felt and learned through everyday life with them.

Young children love picking grasses and wildflowers they discover while out on walks or blooming in the garden. This flower vase was inspired by those simple, everyday moments.

It will make the precious flowers your child carefully brings home look even more charming and beautiful. You might place it by the entrance, creating a special spot where they can leave their little treasures after a walk.

Shintaro Enami is a ceramic artist receiving considerable attention at FFT.

As the first apprentice of Tetsuya and Momoko Otani, he spent five years gaining a wide range of experience before becoming independent.

Enami’s work is distinguished by its characteristic flowing-line ridges. The soft expression created by the hand-carved curves adds a gentle touch to the table.

Opening diameter: Approx. 5 cm
Overall diameter: Approx. 9 cm

As these are artisanal works, there may be individual differences in glaze, color, and size.

[Handling Instructions]
Because this pottery is absorbent, its texture will change with the moisture and oil from food. It is prone to color transfer, so we recommend avoiding darkly colored dishes until the entire piece is thoroughly seasoned with oil. The more you use it, the more character it develops, so we hope you enjoy that transformation. If you are concerned, try soaking it in water for about 10 minutes before use. This will help prevent color transfer and odors to some extent, allowing it to gradually mature.
