Japanese Arita "Somenishiki Madori Houou" ornamental vase with lid

About the Item

This artwork is hand-painted and depicts a phoenix, a symbol of peace and happiness that is considered auspicious. The technique used is called sometsuke, which involves applying glaze directly onto the unfired clay surface and then painting on top of it, also known as overglaze. Sometsuke is also referred to as kinrande, aka-e, or iroe. This luxurious artwork requires a complex process of firing the piece at least four to five times to achieve its vivid colors.
