Imariyaki or Arita-yaki is the general term for porcelain that began to be made in the area centered on the town of Arita in Saga Prefecture in the early 17th century. The name derives from the fact that most of the products were shipped from the nearby port of Imari. Imariyaki was actively exported to Europe through the Dutch East India Company from the mid-Edo period. The Kakiemon style refers to the colored porcelain of Imariyaki that was established around 1670 as a result of the expansion of the overseas export business. Kakiemon-style porcelain was exported to Europe and other countries, and imitations were made by the Meissen kilns in Europe, which is said to have influenced the Jingdezhen kilns in China, the birthplace of porcelain.
"Nigoshide" is a white porcelain base with a soft milky white color like rice brine.Nigoshide is also used in this piece. It is decorated with a gourd pattern in relief.
