The Flower Collection line includes some of the company's most popular items with a flower-themed twist in a pop yet elegant style, and should be perfect for spring get-togethers and seasonal festivities. They even have a special commemorative cookware item for Le Creuset Japon’s 25th anniversary! Let’s take a look at some of the pieces in the collection.

To commemorate Le Creuset Japon’s 25 years in Japan, they’ve come up with a special version of their popular 20-centimeter (just under 8 inch) round casserole decorated with beautiful cherry blossom illustrations. This Japan-exclusive item is available in two colors as of March 16, 2016.

Don’t all of these items make you want to start cooking or plan a spring party? The complete Flower Collection can be seen on Le Creuset Japon’s site if you want to check out all of the lovely products in their lineup.

Sure, the items don’t come cheap, but just looking at all those pink and flowery images should put you in a mood to anticipate spring—and of course, lots of drinking during the cherry blossom viewing season!
