    This Kurata vase is 10" high x 5.5" widest diameter and weighs 4 lbs and 13 ounces. Someone removed the labels and Scotch taped the English label to the bottom and apparently discarded the Japanese label.

    Giving this vase a matte finish did not do much to enhance the metallic inclusions in this vase. Odd how the Scotch tape on the bottom provides a window to the beauty of the construction.

    I thought that I did pretty well paying $15 for this vase until I found the $3 price tag that had fallen into the vase, probably because it did not adhere well to this very dusty vase.

      Thanks for your comments, jscott0363! Kurata made a wide range of colors and designs in this shape. All I have seen are pretty cool!

      Kurata did this a lot for a while, sand blasted vases to a very matte finish so the decor was lost.
      Having said that I think these are so soft and subtle and beautiful

      Tbanks for your comments, Karen! This is probably my least favorite iteration of this vase, but happy to have found it.

      Updated first image after realizing I did not post an image of the main feature of this vase. Will do a better image in daylight. Did one now so I would not forget.
