Arita Ware: Brocade Peony and Bird Motif Vase

The elongated and balanced form makes it an elegant vase , featuring the classic Edo-period motifs of 'peony' and 'bird,' delicately portrayed. The composition, with ample space around the “Nigoshide” (milky-white surface), is a distinctive characteristic of the Kakiemon style. The mouth is of just the right width, making it easy to arrange flowers. This piece is recommended as a gift item.
