Designed to hold glowing embers, hibachi vessels were used as a source of heat or for cooking in Japanese homes. Ceramic hibachi were introduced during the Meiji period as an alternative to larger copper-lined wood hibachi and heavy bronze receptacles. Placed under a low wood kotatsu table with an open slat top, the hibachi functioned as a grill, and covered with a quilt across the slat top it created a cozy gathering place for the family. This hibachi dating from 1900 is decorated in the time-honored blue-and-white style with images of honorary objects. Grand in scale and heft, the hibachi makes an ideal jardinière.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
