Moriage - Dragonware Tea Service Set for 5

Dragonware, also known as Moriage, is a distinctive style of Japanese pottery characterized by its raised, intricate designs, often featuring dragons, floral motifs, or other elaborate patterns. This technique involves applying slip in layers to create a textured, three-dimensional effect, which is then often enhanced with metallic glazes, particularly gold and silver, and sometimes colored enamels.

Set Includes:

Lusterware, a type of pottery with an iridescent metallic sheen, was also a popular finish for Japanese ceramics during this period. The combination of Moriage's raised designs and lusterware's shimmering surface creates a visually striking effect. These sets were typically produced by various Japanese manufacturers and are highly sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship and unique aesthetic appeal.
