Kyo-Kinsai Ko-Imari Style [Coffee Cup and Saucer]

One of the characteristic techniques of "Ko-Imari" of the Edo period, which was favored by European aristocrats, is "Some-nishiki", in which red, green, gold and other overglaze paints are applied to the underglaze blue. The gorgeous design with a ground pattern of water chestnuts in indigo, chrysanthemums and peonies in glossy red painting, and gorgeous gilding decorating the surroundings is truly worthy of being called "Kyokushiki" and is a representative of the Ko-Imari style. It is a representative of the Ko-Imari style, which is more flamboyant for celebrations and more chic for everyday dinners.
