Japanese Hot Pink Rose Compote

Japan Lusterware Compote — a radiant mid-century tabletop accent that blends Old World ornamentation with postwar commercial flair. Commissioned by the American Lof department store and produced in Japan, this petite footed compote features a pink luster glaze, blooming rose motifs, and delicate gold-painted handles. Its fluted pedestal base is molded with a swirling pattern that catches light with subtle iridescence.

Lusterware was originally developed in the Middle East and became popularized by Japanese artisans for export during the 1940s–60s. These pieces appealed to American shoppers looking for affordable elegance during a period of global trade resurgence.
