Black Morikin Aochibu Grape and Rose Pattern Vase
The Black Morikin Aochibu Grape and Rose Pattern Vase is distinguished by its rich black base, creating a striking canvas that elevates the artistry of the meticulously applied aochibu “blue dots” and morikin “raised gold” embellishments. This bold choice of color showcases Nakada Kingyoku the Third’s dedication to melding classical techniques with modern innovation.
The deep black base not only enriches the overall design but also provides a sumptuous backdrop that makes the platinum and gold leaves of the grape pattern stand out with extravagant contrast, offering a contemporary twist on timeless elegance while honoring the heritage of Kutani ware. The neck of the vase is adorned with red roses, adding a touch of romantic grace to its overall beauty.
The addition of platinum and gold leaves brings an opulent depth to the vase, with the platinum’s subtle sheen and gold’s radiant sparkle creating a luxurious interplay of metallic textures. This blend of precious metals against the black backdrop not only catches the light but also captivates the gaze, making the vase a focal point of any room.
