Subject:What exactly is moriage?
Posted By: Shawn Sat, Aug 07, 2010 IP: 68.62.6.102 Hello. Some fellow collectors of older Japanese pieces are quite adamant that moriage refers only raised matte slip decoration, but that doesn't seem to be what I see here. How would you define moriage? Does it translate into English? Thank you very much. |

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Aug 08, 2010 The online Japanese-English dictionary maintained by Australia's Monash University defines 'moriage' in the ceramics context as 'to pile up' or 'to heap up', and in other usages as 'to stir up' or 'to enliven'. |

Posted By: Shawn Sun, Aug 08, 2010 Thank you for your interesting answers! I collect dragonware, moriage and raised-enamel pieces, and people have different definitions, so I've always been curious. |

Posted By: toni acock Mon, Apr 29, 2013 In my actual experience with enhancing ceramic surfaces, the terminology for the unglazed matt surfaces and the shiny surfaces differ . The matt is much more highly raised off of the surface and is generally referred to as Moriage. The other is usually over painted with gold and is shiny and generally called raised enamel. |
