Arita Ware Incense Burner – Sometsuke & Overglaze Persimmon Motif

Arita Ware Incense Burner – Sometsuke & Overglaze Persimmon Motif (Mini Size)

This Arita ware incense burner features a vivid persimmon motif rendered in a sometsuke and overglaze technique on a white porcelain body. The bright orange persimmons stand out beautifully against the clean white surface, creating a lively yet refined impression.

The compact form is decorated with branches heavy with ripening persimmons, evoking a warm and abundant scene. The design is inspired by the Kakiemon style, known for its elegant composition, lightness, and refined use of space that exemplifies traditional Japanese porcelain aesthetics.

Arita ware is celebrated for its precision, clarity of color, and technical excellence. In this mini-sized incense burner, the harmony between delicate form and vivid decoration creates a charming piece that can be enjoyed both as a functional incense burner and as a small decorative object.

How to Use

Fill the incense burner with incense ash up to about four-fifths of its depth. Light the tip of the incense, allow it to smolder, and place it gently on the ash without closing the lid. Closing the lid during use may cause the incense to go out.

For small incense burners, stick-type incense can be placed upright in the ash. When not in use, close the lid and enjoy the incense burner as a decorative or interior accent.

Due to the handmade nature of this piece, slight differences in painting, color tone, shape, or size may occur. These variations are natural characteristics of handcrafted Arita ware.
