25189 13th generation Sakaida Kakiemon (Muddy hand peony and lion design vase)

Height 21.3cm

Diameter 10.2cm

This work was made by the great ceramic artist Sakaida Kakiemon 13th (1906-1982) who, together with his father, the 12th generation, revived the once-declining style of "Nigorite" porcelain and was the most skilled of all the Kakiemon potters. He built the foundation for the prosperity of modern Kakiemon porcelain. Peony and lion are painted stroke by stroke, carefully and meticulously, on the beautiful moist milky white base that is unique to Nigorite porcelain.
