Old Noritake Antique Old Noritake M mark 1918 Hand-painted Introducing a beautiful vase of Old Noritake with hand-painted rose motifs and gold-painted handles⁂ Noritake was founded in 1904. It sublimated Western aesthetics with Japan's delicate painting techniques, and gained fame as the "pinnacle of export crafts." This piece is truly a symbol of that. Roses are hand-painted one by one on a pale, milky white glaze. From the blurring of the petals, the overlapping of the leaves, and the softness of the shadows, you can feel the breath of the skilled painter. The shape is an elegant oval-shaped vase. Gold-painted handles on both sides add a classical dignity, and the mouth has an arabesque pattern in gold on a pale blue background. It exudes a dignified elegance that doesn't end with just sweetness. Everything is not divided into separate processes, from molding, glazing, painting, to gold painting, it is the beauty of a single item that has been carefully finished*:✼. Even without flowers, it is a presence that quietly brightens the space just by being placed there. A white linen table, an antique cabinet, a window where the morning light shines... If you add a single branch of seasonal flowers, your everyday life will gently turn into a story( ᵕᴗᵕ * Over nearly 100 years, a Noritake vase that still holds fresh beauty. As a "usable antique," and a special work of art that you'll want to pass on to the next generation.
