momoco bird [Hitomi Nakashima / Iro-Nabeshima Shippo]

“momoco” — porcelain figures in Arita ware. They express the craftsmanship of Arita ware, handed down for more than 400 years, and an endless pursuit of beauty, in special collaborations with Arita's finest makers. The little bird, a messenger of good news, stands for happiness and peace. Birds living in pairs symbolise a happy marriage, and their flight makes them a popular gift for new beginnings. Shaped after a plump, lovable fledgling about to leave the nest. Hand-painted by artist Hitomi Nakashima: the underglaze shippo (seven treasures) pattern of the Nabeshima style, blue-green celadon, and yellow, yellow-green and red overglaze, with the beak and eyes in gold. Sure technique with a lovable charm. ■ Hitomi Nakashima: modern painting inspired by the Nabeshima style, built on traditional techniques. Born in Osaka; graduated in ceramics from Osaka University of Arts (2006) and in painting from Saga Prefectural Arita College of Ceramics (2007); first-class certified porcelain painter (2015); independent since 2016. Delivered in a dedicated box. For large orders for gifts or campaigns, please contact BloomSource.
