Arita Ware: Brocade Plum and Bird Motif Vase

The wide composition near the body features a depiction of flowers and birds, with plum blossoms artistically rendered in red overglaze, creating an impressive piece reminiscent of a painting.

The distinctive creamy white base, known as “Nigoshide” in Kakiemon, complements the overglaze enamels, enhancing the vibrancy of the colors. This makes it an ideal choice for those who appreciate the art of ikebana (flower arrangement).
