Among these, "Hana-tsume" (flower filling) and "Ao-tsubu" (blue beading) are styles that, since their introduction in the early 20th century, remain highly popular and representative. The "Hana-tsume" technique was pioneered in 1912 by Master Craftsman Shiro Mizuta of Kanazawa Kutani. This piece features "Hana-tsume," the style most favored by Taiwanese collectors. The hallmark of Hana-tsume is the surface of the Kutani ware vessel being densely adorned with various floral motifs, with the outlines and details of the flowers then meticulously rendered in gold pigment. It is the most luxurious and brilliant representative style of Kutani ware painting. Placing this radiant Hana-tsume small vase on your dining table, desk, or a bedroom cabinet will not only add a sense of occasion to your life but also allow you to enjoy the beauty of Kutani every day! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53269389878_6e3e4a5ccd_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54226613579_7235638e2d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54226768335_ce1c11630d.jpg ※ Comes with a gift box. ※ Dimensions: Base width and length 6.2cm × height 11cm ※ Each piece is handcrafted by artisans, so slight variations in color and pattern placement are normal and not considered defects.
