JIHEN / JIHEN Vase (VASE) - VICKY

Arranging and displaying like a painting

Jiken offers two types of Tokoname ware pottery:
"Plates" and "Vases"
The vases are inspired by the whisked doll, a long-standing Western tradition that continues to be loved by girls and adults alike (VICKY).
They were crafted by artisans with the hope that they would blend seamlessly into various lifestyles.
The glaze was also carefully selected to match Jiken's concept.
Just like paint, ingredients and flowers come in both vibrant and simple colors.
Therefore, a glaze that would complement any paint color was applied to both types of pottery and fired.
The name of this glaze is "Kurokinsai" (Black Gold Glaze).
Because the glaze is applied by hand to each piece, there are individual differences in the finish.
Even with the same plate or vase, areas where the glaze has pooled shine gold, while areas with a thin coating shine black.
We invite you to bring this one-of-a-kind, rare piece into your home.


This Tokoname ware vase is made from Tokoname clay and crafted in Tokoname. It is finished in the kiln of "Sangen Toen," a kiln in Tokoname that has passed down excellent techniques through generations.
It also uses Sangen Toen's original "Kurokinsai" (Black Gold Glaze). Because the application of the glaze creates individual differences in the finish, each piece becomes a precious, one-of-a-kind item.

Simply placing a single flower or plant in it can change the atmosphere of a room.
A vase with a distinctly Jiken presence, enhanced by the texture and color of Tokoname ware.


【Even if broken, it is not the end - Jiken Kintsugi Service Guide】

It is not the end even if it breaks
Breaking is not the end.
When a vessel breaks, you can either throw it away or repair it.
Kintsugi is a technique that outlines the cracks with gold, giving the vessel a new life.
The repaired scars become beautiful patterns.
The evidence of continued use becomes beauty.
The longer you use it, the more this vessel becomes yours, and we are here to help you with that.
Jiken does not consider its work finished once the pottery is made.
If it is damaged within one year of purchase, we will repair it free of charge using brass kintsugi.
Please continue to cherish and use Jiken pottery for a long time.
Even if it breaks, we at Jiken will repair it.
