A masterpiece by the renowned Arita-yaki artisan, Yazaemon. The beautiful sometsuke and nishiki (dyed and brocade) style depicts exquisite flower, bird, and butterfly motifs. The birds scattered throughout are especially charming. The handle is also magnificent, with a profound and refined shape. It's about the size of a medium-sized bowl (see images), and is of sufficient quality to be appreciated as a work of art. There are some scratches on the bottom, but otherwise it is a beautiful item in overall clean condition with no noticeable scratches or stains. Please refer to images 18/19 for the size. The stands and other items in the images are for photography purposes and are not included. Type...Pottery Type...Bowl Type...Medium-sized bowl Type of ware...Imari-yaki/Arita-yaki
