Source Description
This vase, with its abstracted design based on the form of the omodaka plant, is a fine example of Japanese Arita ceramics. The design features three colors of overglaze enamels--red, green, and yellow--that enliven the omodaka plant, with its characteristic three petals, and the small flower heads scattered across a fanned background. The comingling of these various elements of the design exemplifies the array of artistic sources that characterized Arita wares.
