Moriage is a distinctive decorative technique that originated in Japan, primarily used on porcelain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This style, often associated with Nippon ware, involves applying slip clay in raised patterns to create a three-dimensional effect. Dragonware, a specific type of Moriage, features intricately detailed dragons, symbolizing power and good fortune in East Asian culture. These pieces were highly popular exports, particularly to Western markets, showcasing the exquisite artistry of Japanese craftsmen.
