23254 13th generation Sakaida Kakiemon (Incense burner with a muddy texture of a quail design)

Height 11.7cm Diameter 11.3cm

This work was made by the great ceramic artist Sakaida Kakiemon 13th (1906-1982) himself, who, together with his father, the 12th generation, restored the once-decorated style of "Nigote" porcelain, boasting the greatest skill among all Kakiemon porcelain makers, and who built the foundation for the prosperity of modern Kakiemon porcelain. It is a work of exceptional quality and elegance. Its appeal lies in the beautiful moist milky white base that is unique to Nigote porcelain, 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.
