Herend’s Enchanting New Kimono Service

The new Kimono service from Herend is a fine example of Japanese minimalism and symbolises the relationship between the distant island nation and European art.
 
The service includes six kimono-clad figures, women combing their hair or holding a parasol, samurais and couples; the asymmetrically positioned human characters have been painted with thick contours and strong, calligraphic brush strokes.

The human figures are complimented by the shadows of irregularly shaped trees, birds, fish and dragons; the various motif elements are grouped and appear in different ways on the assorted pieces, some of which have a gold rim decorated with silhouettes of black butterflies and plants.
 
The skilled craftsmen at Herend paint everything by hand.
 
Retail price for a teacup and saucer is £96 and a teapot £175.00.
