From the 1950s through the 1970s, Sanyu was prolific in creating decorative vases, centrepieces, and art glass in a range of vibrant colourways. Their export pieces typically carried the Sanyu Glass silver and black label, while domestic Japanese releases bore the Narumi Fantasy gold and red foil branding.
This vintage vase captures the elegance of Japanese modernist design with its tall cylindrical form, radiant green hue, and delicate layering of silver leaf within the glass. A timeless collectible, it works beautifully as a statement piece in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

This vase is not just a decorative object but a piece of design history, ideal for collectors of Japanese art, mid-century interiors, or those seeking a unique statement for their home.
