This very unusual vase is composed of three cylindrical elements in green-glazed ceramic, probably produced in Shigaraki.

They are included in a triangular black lacquered frame with two plates connected by three square-section uprights, pierced with three circular holes to allow the three ceramic tubes to pass through.

The frame is completely covered in glossy black lacquer.

A work circa 1970 intended for ikebana.
