Vintage Lusterware Lotus Bowl Candle – Noritake Morimura

This vintage Noritake Morimura Lusterware lotus bowl, with its soft iridescent finish and delicate form, has been thoughtfully repurposed into a luminous candle vessel. Holding 6.65 oz of wax, this piece captures the quiet beauty and craftsmanship that defined early Japanese porcelain artistry.

Noritake’s origins trace back to the late 1800s, when the Morimura Brothers founded the company in Nagoya, Japan, with a mission to bring fine Japanese porcelain to Western markets. By the early 20th century, Noritake had become celebrated worldwide for its exquisite Lusterware—pieces recognized for their hand-painted details and opalescent glow. The lotus motif, symbolizing purity and renewal, was a favorite among collectors and reflected Japan’s reverence for nature and grace in design.

Now reimagined as a candle, this historic vessel glows once more—blending heritage, light, and fragrance into a timeless keepsake.
