Moriage Black Teapot with Floral Accents - Set of 2

Moriage is a distinctive style of pottery decoration that originated in Japan during the late 19th century. It involves applying raised slip (liquid clay) to the surface of the ceramic piece, creating a three-dimensional effect. This technique was particularly popular during the Meiji and Taisho periods, when Japanese ceramics were being widely exported to the West. Moriage pieces often feature intricate floral, dragon, or figural designs, meticulously hand-painted with vibrant colors and metallic accents. The raised details add texture and depth to the artwork, making each piece a unique and tactile creation. Moriage pottery remains highly sought after by collectors for its artistic merit and historical significance.
