Bell-shaped lidded container with gold and silver coloring and red lily design

The bell-shaped lidded container is decorated with lilies blooming in the pottery studio garden. The designs allow you to feel the gorgeousness, beauty of Japanese culture, and the seasons. This piece is a lidded container made on a potter's wheel, rather than by molding, and is lightly carved using the thin-cutting technique of Kyoto Kiyomizu ware. To make the contents stand out, the inside is coated with a black glaze, and the outside is coated with a thin layer of a specially formulated glaze. The lilies are carefully hand-painted, gradually adding color, and the piece is fired again and again. Painting with gold, silver, and red enamel is technically difficult, so careful temperature and humidity control is required during the process to complete the piece. The lid is also carefully fitted. The items inside do not dry out easily and do not absorb moisture, so they can be used for incense, sugar candy, rice, and other items, even when dining outdoors. They can also be used to burn incense, store small items, or as room decor. They also make a wonderful gift for someone special.
