This is a Arita ware vase with peony flowers. The vase, based on red color, features large peony flowers. While vases with peony flowers on a blue base are commonly seen, those with a red base are less common. With almost no signs of use, I believe those who appreciate the red color and floral pattern will be satisfied. The size is also just right, I think. Arita-yaki Hidamine is porcelain manufactured in the town of Arita and its surrounding areas in Saga Prefecture. During the Edo period, it was also known as Imari-yaki or Hizen-yaki.
