momoco rabbit [Teppei Ono / Gold & Silver Kinrande Small Dots] with mini rabbit

“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 rabbit is loved around the world as a symbol of luck, prosperity and leaping forward. momoco's rabbit takes the shape of a lop-eared rabbit, a gentle companion for every day. A work by artist Teppei Ono. After the base colour is overglaze-painted, the pattern is drawn in lacquer and gold leaf is applied over it. The hand-drawn, slightly irregular dots and the fine lustre of gold leaf blend softly into any interior. Finished with care down to the base. At Ono's suggestion, a tiny hand-pinched mini momoco rabbit comes with this piece. Each piece is handmade, so dot size and placement vary. Gold leaf may wear or change colour over time. ■ Teppei Ono: known for bold expression with traditional gold-leaf techniques. Born in Ureshino, Saga. Graduated from Saga Prefectural Arita College of Ceramics (1995) and its research course (1996), then worked at a kiln in Hasami. Independent since 2004; making ceramics at Kohaku Togeisha since 2014. Delivered in a dedicated box. For large orders for gifts or campaigns, please contact BloomSource.
