This is a three-tiered food container from Kisoen, Arita-yaki, featuring a very beautiful design of the four seasons. It has been stored unused. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there is some gold color fading, so please check the photos. Please forgive any dullness or slight peeling. Please check the condition in the photos. I believe this is from the time of manufacture, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. It appears to be a valuable item that is no longer sold. It is from the popular Kisoen kiln in Arita-yaki. The original box is included, but it is damaged. Size: Three tiers (without lid) Height: Approximately 14.5cm Width: Approximately 17.3cm One tier Height: Approximately 5cm Product Description: The design expresses the spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage poetically on white porcelain. This is a design unique to the Japanese, who appreciate the four seasons, and was exhibited at the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876. The elaborate craftsmanship and vivid colors that captivated people around the world tell the story of the high technical skill of Arita-yaki at the time. It has an air of elegance befitting the treasures of Arita. 25090rr00
