“still green” from ceramic japan

These unique small vases are “still green” from “ceramic japan.” Ceramic japan is famous for their great design ceramics. It is in Seto city of Aichi prefecture.

As the name “still green” explains, these white small vases have a message “a thing which is going to start, and its state.”
We will explain the meaning of this message later with the introduction of a designer.

These white small vases got great reputations in overseas earlier than in Japan.

From Japan! Small vases sold more than 10,000 in MoMA New York

The first meeting with “still green” and me, the buyer of Japan Design Store was at a select shop in Omote Sando in Tokyo.
On the top left of a shelf, with a glass object and metal calendars, I found a unique art object like a water jag. I remember the big impression I got that time. “Ah, this is a flower vase! That’s why this ceramic is shaped as a water jag.”

One year after the meeting, I visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA). MoMA is called the center of the world art.
At the museum shop of MoMA, I met again with the “still green.”
At first, I thought that “Oh, that small vase was designed by an American designer.” To check the name of maker, I saw the backside of the white vase. Then, I found some letters saying “ceramic japan, made in Japan.”
“Is that a product of Japan!?” I got great impression again.

According to a staff of the museum shop, many items of ceramic japan are designated as the permanent collection of MoMA. Among them, “still green” got great popularities for its unique design with great skill. In fact, the white small vases were sold more than 10,000 at the museum shop at that time.
Among the Japanese items at the museum shop of MoMA, “still green” became a best-selling item.

Now, the white small vases get attention from the buyers around the world. Many design museums or select shops in the world sell “still green.”

3 features of the small vases “still green”

1. “How can they make it?” Unique design

   The greatest feature of this white small vase is the unique design. Everyone would be surprised “how can they make it?” The simple and astonishing design is the contours of water jag, liquor bin, or jam bin.
   Glossy white of porcelain gives clean atmosphere to the small vases. Unique white vase can be an art object as it is.

   Also, these small vases are very compact. You can put these white vases on a narrow shelf, sideboard, or bookshelf. You can see through the other side of the vases from the body of them. So, still green has great presense, but does not assert itself too much. The white small vases fit various types of rooms.

   The small vases make the flowers look great. For unique-design-lovers, or flower lovers, we recommend these small vases with our confident.

   

2. More difficult than it looks! High skill of ceramic production

   Small vases “still green” has very simple design. However, it is very difficult to produce one vase. In fact, few makers can produce it and it takes much time and work.

   To make this form is not so difficult. But to make empty inside like a tube is very hard.
   If the craftsmen pour too much pottery clay, the inside of tube will be filled. If the wall of tube become too thin, the item will be broken after baking. These small vases are very difficult to produce.

   Nevertheless, ceramic japan succeeded to produce the difficult small vases.
   Simple design vases cannot be completed without high skill of craftsmen. Therefore, we have never seen similar or copy item of this.

   

3. It is easy! Great usability

   Usually, vases are big and heavy. It is difficult to handle it with one hand. Moving the flower vases or changing water take time.
   However, the small vases “still green” has slim tube design. It is easy to hold it with one hand. You can move the small vases easily.

   You may worry about its stability. Please be assured. The inside of the white vases is all empty. So, you can pour water into the flower vases.
   If you pour water into the vases, the vases gain more stability. Weak wind cannot fall the vases down.
