Size: Diameter 12cm x Height 8.5cm Capacity: 300ml

The technique of "iroe" (colored painting), which was developed about 30 years after the birth of Arita ware, brought color to the world of Arita ware, which had previously been dominated by white and indigo. One of the most representative patterns of this colored painting is the "plum and chrysanthemum pattern." Leaving space on the white base, the auspicious pattern of plum and chrysanthemum is expressed in vivid colors and intricately. The model design was a symmetrical one, likely created for export, when asymmetrical compositions were common at the time. It is a pattern that still feels fresh today.
