FAQs

Kutani ware is a style of Japanese porcelain traditionally originating from Kutani, now Yamanaka, Ishikawa prefecture. Renowned for its overglaze enamels, late 19th-century or Meiji period Kutani often features intricate gilding and iron-red palette designs depicting landscapes, figures, and floral motifs.

Kutani porcelain is crafted from kaolin clay fired at high temperatures, then decorated using overglaze enamel pigments known as the gosai palette or iron-red glazes, frequently accented with gold leaf or liquid gold detailing.

Authentic antique Kutani pieces usually feature hand-painted overglaze decoration with visible texture, detailed gilding, and specific red iron oxides. They often bear a hand-painted multi-character Kutani mark in red or gold on the underside base.

A tall Kutani vase functions as a focal accent on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or inside a curated shelving display. Pairing its warm terracotta hues and gilt details with neutral textures allows the intricate hand-painted artwork to stand out.

Clean delicate overglaze decorated porcelain with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or soft brush to remove dust. Avoid chemical cleaners, abrasive pads, or immersion in water, as these can strip or degrade the delicate gold leaf detailing.
