This Nippon Awata Tapestry Design urn is fabulous in the Nippon tradition!<p>

One of the striking qualities of this urn is its shape. It has two handles, is 11 1/2 inches tall, and is 5 1/2 inches at the widest point of the bowl. It has a four-pronged foot. It is 2 1/4 inches across the top, and it has a 1 3/4-inch opening.<p>

Next is its presentation of color and design. The neck of the urn is forest green with gold trim. The bowl of the urn is aqua blue, with four (4) cameos of pink cosmos flowers. The cameos are festooned with gold ribbons and gold moriage chrysanthemum medallions. A cameo appears in the center of each side and under each of the handles. The cameos are accented with gold fleur de lis at the top and bottom. Both of the sides and all four of the feet have impressed cartouches and gold decor, with fleur de lis detailing. At the bottom of the bowl, after a band of gold moriage, the forest green resumes again, with gold accents, until it becomes the ivory of the foot.<p>

The handles are ivory and gold, as are the feet. Rosettes crown each of the handles, which have double finger holds. The ivory continues through to the inside of the urn.<p>

This urn is unmarked as was much of this type of Nippon of this era.<p>

This urn is in excellent condition. Although there may be some gold wear due to age and use, it is difficult to tell because of the general distribution of gold throughout the design.<p>

This urn will make a gorgeous addition to anyone's Nippon collection!<p>
