Description :

Vintage Japanese Art Glass Vase – Kamei Osaka Abstract Black with Gold & White Accents

A striking vintage Japanese art glass vase by Kamei, Osaka, featuring a bold black glass body with abstract white swirls and gold fleck inclusions. The rounded form with flared rim highlights its sculptural presence, making it a dramatic centerpiece or display item.

Measurements (range):

  • Height: Approx. 8"–9"

  • Diameter (widest point): Approx. 5.5"–6.5"

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age, no chips or cracks observed.

Historical Note:
Kamei Glass of Osaka was known for producing modernist Japanese art glass in the mid to late 20th century, often blending traditional craftsmanship with bold, contemporary aesthetics. The use of gold flecks against dark glass reflects both Japanese decorative traditions and the global demand for abstract, artistic glass during the postwar era.

Value:
Comparable Kamei Osaka vases sell in the $175–$250 range, with abstract and gold-accented examples like this one leaning toward the higher end.
