This pair of large hand-painted Japanese Meji period Kutani vases dates from 1880. The pieces are formed of porcelain with a vibrant multicolour enamel glaze, dominated by red, white, blue, and green tones. Each vessel features a flared and fluted scalloped rim, intricately detailed floral cartouches, a butterfly pattern, a diaper border, and panels of chrysanthemums, birds, and flowers, complemented by iron-red and polychrome painted decoration and blue and white striped bases displaying Japanese writing concerning springtime. The vases measure 67 cm high and 30 cm wide. They suit placement on a sideboard top in a living space, and the dealer notes they could also be converted without drilling to make an exceptional pair of lamps.

FAQs

Kutani porcelain is a style of Japanese ceramic art originating from Kaga Province, modern-day Ishikawa Prefecture. During the Meiji period (18681912), Kutani ware gained international recognition for its vibrant polychrome enamel decoration, intricate brushwork, and characteristic iron-red and gold palette designed for export.

Kutani pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain clay and fired at high temperatures. The intricate designs are created using overglaze enamels, known as Aka-e when dominated by iron-red tones, and often include hand-painted gold leaf highlights and polychrome glazes featuring green, aubergine, and cobalt blue shades.

Authentic Meiji Kutani ceramics typically exhibit finely painted brushstrokes, complex layered compositions, and painterly cartouches with nature motifs. The base often bears hand-painted characters reading Kutani alongside the artist or workshop name, and the hand-thrown porcelain body may show minor natural imperfections under the foot rim.

A symmetrical pair of Kutani vases can be arranged on a sideboard, fireplace mantelpiece, or console table to create visual balance. Their intricate polychrome patterning pairs well with contemporary minimalist joinery, dark timber furniture, or classical period interiors.

Clean Kutani porcelain using a soft microfiber cloth and lukewarm water with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads, chemical cleaners, or submersion in water, as overglaze enamels and gilding can wear over time. Always lift vases from the base rather than the neck.
