【Arita Ware】 Yuzan-made Phoenix Arabesque Pattern Colored Enamel Obi Clasp 2-Piece Set Antique

A set of two antique obi clasps from the renowned Arita ware kiln Yuzan. This set includes one clasp with a cord-through design and one with a pin-fastening design.

Size:
Cord-through type [Large]: Approx. 5 x 3.5 cm
Pin-fastening type [Small]: Approx. 4 x 3 cm

This set includes a standard obi clasp for passing a cord through, and a rare pin-fastening clasp, which is seldom made today, that uses a special pin to attach directly to the obi. The pin-fastening type can be decorated directly at any desired position on the obi.
*The special pin is not included.

The colorful enamel design, featuring phoenix and arabesque motifs, embodies the vibrant yet elegant style characteristic of Arita ware from the Taisho Roman period. The pair, with one in celadon green and the other in deep navy, makes for a highly collectible piece.

- Both clasps are free of chips and cracks.
- There is very little wear on the gold accents, and they are in excellent condition considering their age.
