The surface features a relief depiction of Hotei, adorned with underglaze painting. The porcelain body is shaped into a semi-cylindrical form, with a small hole on the back for mounting with a nail. It is intended to be hung against a wall, presenting a restrained yet charming appearance that would beautifully complement wildflowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHotei is depicted seated, facing forward, cradling a fish in his left hand. His facial features and physique are rendered in a relatively simplified manner, with the contours and subtle gradations of the underglaze painting forming the overall image. The clay body reveals particles of iron, which appear as small black specks within the white glaze. Although the glaze covers the entire surface, there are noticeable variations on the back and rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is left unglazed, showcasing traces of trimming, along with minor firing marks and remnants of clay. A slight flow of glaze can be observed on the inner walls, and the interior finish is somewhat coarse. The design and form of the vase are created as a single piece, with no decoration beyond the front. Overall, the construction is simple, suggesting that functionality as a practical object was prioritized.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51133091283225,"sku":null,"price":2243000.0,"currency_code":"IDR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/2025080611413.jpg?v=1754578817","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-id\/products\/antique-japanese-ceramics-271","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
