Expertise & Decoration
This ensemble, consisting of a fishbowl (jardinière) and a conical column, is crafted in the famous cream-colored Satsuma earthenware with the characteristic fine craquelé. As visible in the photos, the piece is richly decorated using the Moriage technique, in which the paint and gold are applied in relief. The exterior displays lively scenes of figures in a landscape, framed by lavish floral patterns. The interior of the bowl is a work of art in itself, featuring hand-painted Koi carp swimming among aquatic plants – a powerful symbol of perseverance and good fortune. Delivery by 1stBuddha
