Set of Vintage Japanese Ceramic "Canteen" Bottles
Kyoto, Japan
The shapes of these vases evoke the utilitarian elegance of canteens from the Japanese military, but for me, they transcend mere functionality into the realm of geometric excellence. Each vase boasts a flawlessly round body, juxtaposed with sharp angles that create a striking profile, while the harmonious balance between the spout and foot elevates their design to an art form.
Their simplicity is nothing short of divine, and when positioned on a ledge illuminated by pinpoint lights, they come to life, casting delightful shadows of perfect shapes that sway and dance across the walls—a quiet celebration of form and function intertwined.
