Morihiro Sangyo Mid‑Century Blanc de Chine Reticulated Ceramic Lantern with Rice Paper Liner
This exquisite mid‑century Morihiro Sangyo hanging lantern in Blanc de Chine ceramic features a beautifully reticulated lattice body accented with raised cherry blossom branch motifs. Lined with rice paper to filter light softly, this piece reflects the refined craftsmanship revered in 1950s Japanese decorative arts. Many similar pieces incorporate dual-light functions; while this model includes a convenient plug and inline switch, its warm glow and shadow play evoke the same serene effect.
Lovingly constructed with attention to detail, the elegant Greek key border grounds the design in classical symmetry. A standout functional art piece, it enriches entryways, reading nooks, and covered outdoor settings with luminous vintage character.

Good—fully functional. Minor hairline imperfection at the center edge (see images); no other visible damage. Tested and working, with glossy glaze and intact reticulation.
Dimensions:
Overall: 14" H x 6" W x 6" D
