Hechimon Banju Shizuku vase with gold line

This 21 cm Shigaraki vase by Marui Seitō uses the Shizuku, or teardrop, form from the Hechimon Banju series. A matte charcoal surface rises into a split broken-rim mouth, while one brushed gold line runs down the front over incised drag marks.

Maker: Marui Seitō (丸伊製陶), Hechimon line
Series: Banju
Ware: Shigaraki-yaki ceramic, Shiga Prefecture, Japan
Form: Shizuku with yabure-guchi broken rim
Dimensions: approximately 17.5 cm wide × 17.5 cm deep × 21 cm high

For flowers and branches

The porous clay body requires a waterproof inner liner when used with fresh flowers. Without water, the narrow mouth can support a single branch, dried botanicals, or a small asymmetric arrangement.

Shipping, duties & delivery

Ships from Japan.

Orders are typically dispatched within 1–3 business days after payment is confirmed.

Estimated delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs clearance, public holidays, and local carrier conditions.

Buyers are responsible for any customs duties, VAT, and import taxes that may apply in the destination country.

Packaging & gifting

Includes an individual box.

Carefully packed for gifting and safe delivery from Japan.

Fragile items are additionally packed with protective wrapping and cushioning materials for international delivery.

Care instructions

For floral and decorative use. For fresh flowers, use a waterproof inner liner — the porous Shigaraki body can let moisture seep over time, so stand the vase on a mat or coaster to protect surfaces.

Wipe gently; do not add detergent to the water. A little condensation may form with temperature change.

Because each piece is hand-finished, the gold, texture, and rim shape vary slightly — part of its character.
