Pair of Japanese Kutani Vases

1900 - 1920
Description

A fine and decorative pair of Japanese Export Kutani porcelain vases dating to circa 1900, late Meiji period. Each vase of elegant baluster form with flared rim and spreading foot, richly decorated in traditional Kutani enamels.

The bodies are finely hand-painted with figural scenes depicting women and children in garden settings, dressed in flowing kimono beneath flowering branches. The panels are set against a profuse ground of iron-red and gilt decoration, with intricate geometric and floral borders to the neck and foot. The shoulder features stylised medallions and scrolling motifs in green, red, and gold, characteristic of Kutani ware of this period.

The gilding remains bright and vibrant, and the enamels are well preserved, giving the pair excellent decorative appeal.

A striking and colourful pair, ideal for display on a mantelpiece, console, or cabinet.

Origin: Japan

Date: Circa 1900

Around 1900, many Kutani pieces were produced in workshops rather than by a single artist.

One signed underneath translates - Made in Kutani

The reason just one of these vases is signed

One artisan might paint the decoration.

Another might apply the signature or mark.

Sometimes only one piece in a pair was marked to represent the set.

This was especially true for export wares headed to Europe and the US.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Kutani porcelain originates from the Ishikawa prefecture in Japan and is characterised by overglaze enamels, intricate hand-painted figurative or botanical scenes, and gold leaf detailing.

These wares are crafted from high-fired porcelain clay and decorated using overglaze enamel pigments, including signature iron-red tones and gold glaze ornamentation.

Authentic pieces often display detailed hand-painted scenes, subtle brushwork variations, traditional Japanese maker marks or painter signatures on the base, and geometric gilded borders.

A pair of Kutani vases works effectively displayed symmetrically on a sideboard, fireplace mantelpiece, or console table to introduce colour, metallic accents, and historic craftsmanship.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, or prolonged water exposure, which can erode delicate overglaze enamelling and gilded decoration.
