22462 13th generation Sakaida Kakiemon (Muddy hand pampas vase)

Height 21.2cm Diameter 23.2cm

This was made by the great potter Sakaida Kakiemon 13th (1906-1982) himself, who restored the once-decaying Nigote style with his father, the 12th generation, and was the most skilled of all Kakiemon makers, laying the foundation for the prosperity of modern Kakiemon. This Nigote Awake Pattern Vase is an excellent example of his work and is full of dignity. Its appeal lies in the beautiful moist milky white base that is unique to Nigote, and the design, which displays the originality of the 13th generation, draws the viewer in. The traditional base and design harmonize to adorn the modern era... This extremely fine and elegant piece truly expresses the beliefs of the 13th generation.
