A paperweight from the Sakaida Kakiemon kiln. Sakaida Kakiemon is a prestigious name in Arita-yaki, dating back to the early Edo period. The current generation is the 15th, and the 14th Kakiemon, who was designated a Living National Treasure, is highly regarded. "Awa Uzura" (Millet and Quail) is a representative design of Kakiemon's works, featuring millet and two quail elegantly depicted on a pure white base with ample negative space. It would be wonderful as a paperweight, of course, but also as an objet d'art to display in a tokonoma alcove or entryway! It was a gift and has been stored in a glass case in its box. Although it is unused, it has been stored, so we hope that those who understand this will purchase it. ⚫︎Size⚫︎ Height: Approximately 47mm ⚫︎Includes wooden box and pamphlet
