Arita Ware: Nigoshide Vase with Overglaze Enamel Plum Blossom Design woodblock_printing table heightA softly rounded vase in a milky white nigoshide glaze, crafted by the fifteenth generation Sakaida Kakiemon. The warm porcelain surface beautifully highlights the red painted aka e, a hallmark of the Kakiemon style, while plum blossoms add a touch of seasonal elegance. Preserving the tradition of valuing negative space, this piece presents a lively composition that conveys the distinctive modern spirit of Kakiemon.
