Yakisugi Serving Vase

A serving tray that doubles as a stage for flowers. The surface is carved with subtle undulations, catching light like ripples on dark water. Burned using the yakisugi technique, the cedar takes on a rich black tone with soft texture. Resting on hand-turned ball feet, the piece has presence while feeling balanced and lifted. Built into the design is a floral frog, allowing for live or dried arrangements. Part tray, part vase, it’s a hybrid object—utilitarian, but expressive. Perfect for hosting, displaying, or simply living with.
