Thank you for viewing! This is a vase from the official kiln sometsuke series of "Fukagawa Seiji," a prestigious Arita-yaki porcelain maker, purveyor to the Imperial Household Agency. The bottom bears the mark of Mount Fuji, the hallmark of Fukagawa Seiji, and the words "Official Kiln Sometsuke." The elegant iris design, beautifully displayed on the white porcelain, is striking. The transparent gradation of the cobalt blue, unique to Fukagawa Seiji, is very refined and blends well with both Japanese and Western interiors. There are no noticeable chips, cracks, or peeling of the gold trim, and it is in beautiful condition with a glossy finish. There are slight scuffs on the foot of the base due to storage, but this does not affect its use. Size: Height approximately 24.5 cm Mouth diameter: just under 3 cm Although there is no original box, it will be carefully packed with cushioning material to prevent breakage before shipping. This is a high-class item from Fukagawa Seiji. How about it as a part of your collection or as a flower vase to brighten up your room? #FukagawaSeiji #AritaYaki #PurveyorToTheImperialHouseholdAgency #OfficialKilnSometsuke #Vase #FlowerBase #SingleFlowerVase #Iris #JapaneseTableware #TraditionalCrafts
