Description

This is an antique Kutani porcelain vase from the Meiji period, adorned with exquisite hand-painted decorations and gilding. It features two detailed scenes: one depicting a group of quail amidst flowers and another showing traditional Japanese landscape with a family resting by a lakeside. I would like to pay special attention to the painted quails, incredible care in drawing and applying extra enamel on each feather, they look like real ones; you can admire them endlessly for a long time.
The vase showcases vibrant polychrome enamels in warm orange and gold tones, enriched with intricate patterns and detailed hand-painted motifs. At that time, the Kutani masters used the technology of applied enamel. Raised enamel dots and textured elements on the figures, flowers, and trees give a three-dimensional effect, adding depth to the already detailed pictorial design. It has unique zoomorphic handles resembling animal tongues, and the base bears the scripted sign by hand: ??? (Kutani zo) which means ‘Kutani created’, thereby confirming its origin.
Kutani ware originated in Kaga, Ishikawa, in 1655 but was revived during the Meiji period, becoming a popular export. Its vibrant designs appealed to Western markets while maintaining Japanese craftsmanship, making late 19th-century pieces highly collectible and the demand for them has been increasing in recent years.
Dimensions: height 25 cm, diameter at the widest part 15.5 cm, weight 904 grams.
Condition - slight imperceptible paint loss in a few places, otherwise excellent condition.
