Old unmarked NIPPON vase standing on 3 legs / hand painted purple flowers with Moriagi dots on a green string design.

Rare find !
Moriage is a common name on slip or colored clay string decoration, mostly buy on Japanese porcelain, in look not unlike 'cake frosting' in which a diluted clay has been used to give the piece a three dimensional appearance.

This is a very cute and beautiful piece. Has three small openings on the shoulder of the vase and the lip is decorated as if was embroidered, absolutely beautiful.

4 1/2" high
3" diameter
