A masterwork by Namikawa Yasuyuki, Artist to the Imperial Household (Teishitsu Gigei-in).
Silver wire is used throughout the entire body to delineate the chrysanthemum arabesque motif with exquisite delicacy, while the background — a translucent black glaze of profound depth — provides a lustrous foil that heightens the design's brilliance. This composition is believed to have been especially prized at the time of its creation, and companion pieces and color variants are preserved in museum collections.
Standing as one of Namikawa Yasuyuki's signature works, this exceptional piece allows the viewer to fully appreciate the pinnacle of his aesthetic vision and technical mastery.
