One-of-a-Kind: "on the wall" Copper Vase

A Symphony of Patina and Flowers

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the "on the wall" vase. Its stunning hues and captivating mottled patterns are impossible to ignore. Each piece, crafted from copper using traditional techniques, possesses its own unique "expression" and personality.

The Heritage of Takaoka Copperware

The art of metal coloring has flourished for centuries in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture—a city world-renowned for its copperware. Momentum Factory Orii is a prestigious workshop rooted in this history, home to Certified Traditional Artisans who have mastered the delicate soul of metal.

Alchemy of Tradition: The Coloring Process

The methods used are as diverse as they are fascinating—involving boiling, firing, scrubbing, and more.

Our artisans use a unique blend of chemicals alongside natural materials like rice bran and ohaguro (iron gall ink). With endless combinations of formulas and techniques, the possible variations in color are infinite.

Like a Flower, Truly Unique

While our master craftsmen can reproduce the base "color," the intricate patterns emerge naturally. No two are exactly alike. Much like the flowers they hold, each vase has its own subtle differences and individuality. It is, perhaps, the most fitting material to complement the fleeting beauty of nature.

A Curated Palette

From our vast spectrum of colors, we have carefully selected four exquisite finishes specifically for this vase:

・Red / Peacock Patina (HANMON KUJYAKU): A vibrant, majestic shade featured on the grand arches of the Takaoka Station gates.

・Blue / Gas Bronze Patina (HANMON GAS SEIDOU): A striking blue often chosen for gallery signage and premium nameplates.

・Black / Darkened Patina (HANMON KUROSOME): A deep, shadowy hue with immense depth, utilized for the walls of prestigious art museums.

・Silver / Pure Silver Patina (HANMON JYUNGIN): A color of serene, dignified elegance, used in the sacred architecture of Takaoka's shrines.

Every vase tells a different story. Each "on the wall" piece carries a flavor and character all its own.

How will you display your favorite blooms in this one-of-a-kind frame? Bring a touch of world-class Japanese craftsmanship to your walls.
