Fluted vase

This Arita vase is decorated with pine, blooming sakura and phoenixes on the body. The neck bears plant motifs of chrysanthemum perianths and rosettes with scrollwork. The inner bottom is adorned with two twigs of (probably) prunus. (See Filip Suchomel – Marcela Suchomelová, Mistrovská díla japonského porcelánu, Praha 1997, p. 157.)
