What is Japanese moriage?
Japanese moriage is a form of slip decoration found on Satsuma stoneware and porcelain. In moriage, decorative elements are designed with clay separately from the piece itself. These are layered onto the piece, building up different sections to create unique designs, such as highly stylized flowers. Browse a variety of Japanese moriage pieces on 1stDibs.
