This is a beautiful piece of mid-century Japanese ceramic history: a small cream jug or milk pitcher finished in a striking, high-gloss jet black glaze. Produced in Japan during the 1950s–1960s, the body is adorned with an intricate hand-painted floral spray utilizing the traditional Moriage technique, which gives the colorful blossoms and green foliage a distinct, raised tactile texture.
The elegant scalloped rim and contoured handle are highlighted with delicate gold gilding accents. The base features the crisp, authentic gold "MADE IN JAPAN" export stamp. A wonderful replacement piece for an existing mid-century tea set, a vibrant accent for open shelf styling, or a lovely gift for collectors of vintage Japanese export ceramics.
Dimensions: 9cm high x 7cm wide (9.5cm spout to handle)
