Item Description This elegant Kutani ware vase by Seiho showcases the refined technique of Yuuriginsai (silver leaf underglaze). The piece features silver foil applied to the bisque-fired body, which is then covered with transparent glaze, creating a soft, lustrous finish that changes expression with light. The vase is distinguished by its handles (mimitsuki), adding both aesthetic appeal and functional elegance. Yuuriginsai is a sophisticated Kutani technique where silver foil patterns are adhered to the ceramic body and covered with transparent or colored glazes before firing. Unlike exposed silver that oxidizes, the glaze-protected silver maintains its beautiful sheen indefinitely. This technique produces a gentle, refined aesthetic with depth and subtle brilliance characteristic of contemporary Kutani craftsmanship. The vase comes in its original wooden box (tomobako), indicating its authenticity and quality. The piece remains in unused condition, though stored privately, with a wedding anniversary inscription on the inner lid of the box. Size Height: 24.5 cm Width: 11.5 cm Depth: 11.5 cm Weight 862 g Condition Unused condition with original wooden box. Anniversary inscription present on box lid interior.
