Japanese Asian Signed Glazed Pottery Ceramic Folk Art Wabi-Sabi Yunomi Teacup
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful Japanese yunomi teacup featuring a subtle blue-green crackle glaze. The work radiates in the light.
This little gem (along with others we will be listing) came from a collector of fine Japanese and Asian ceramics - a collection like no other we have seen before. The yunomi teacup has a somewhat Wabi-Sabi feel and appearance to it.
Appears to be signed by the maker/artist on the base.

Japanese, Contemporary Blue Pink Porcelain Match Tea Cup by Master Artist, 2
Located in Takarazuka, JP
Exquisite contemporary Japanese decorative porcelain match tea cup, extremely intricately hand painted in various shades of blue and pink set against a stunningly shaped ovoid porcelain body in blue, to create a mesmerizing surface. It is lavishly decorated with intricate gold details and is a masterpiece by highly acclaimed master porcelain artist in traditional patterns of the Imari-Arita region of Japan and the recipient of numerous prestigious awards for his extraordinary porcelain work and his unique gold and platinum work on porcelain. The artist's profile is available upon request.
Hydrangeas with intricate details decorate the surface of this remarkable cup and continue to decorate the inside of the cup.
"Fired-on gold,” this artist's signature style, highlights unique techniques for incorporating gold and platinum into the hand painting and multiple firing processes that yield a stunningly opulent look. The polychrome overglaze is fired at 800 degrees, followed by the application of gold and platinum that are fired at slightly lower temperature to maintain the luster of the precious metals. As a result, a single piece may undergo as many as 5-10 firings. The artist's profile is available upon request.

The Trowulan archaeological site, approximately 100 square kilometres, located in the Mojokerto Regency is believed to contain the remains of what was once the capital city of the Majapahit Empire, featured by 14th century poet Mpu Prapanca in his poem Nagarakretagama. The city was razed during a fight between Girindrawardhana and Kertabhumi in 1478. The Trowulan site is the only archaeological site dating to the Hindu-Buddha classical age to be found in Indonesia.

Antique, New and Vintage Asian Ceramics
With their rich and diverse history, antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics offer colorful and sophisticated ways to add flair to any space.
Japanese pottery dates back at least 13,000 years to the Jōmon period. Pieces from the Late Jōmon era display a rope-cord pattern encircling a pot or jug. During the Muromachi period, potters created simple bowls and utensils frequently used in tea ceremonies and were made as both functional and aesthetic objects.
Ceramics made during Japan’s Meiji period, from 1868 to 1912, reflected an explosion of artistic expression propelled by new access to international trade. Details became more intricate and refined, and colors were enhanced with new glazing practices.
Chinese porcelain, meanwhile, is often identified by its shape. Each reign and dynasty had specific shapes and styles that were encouraged by the imperial ruler. During the Song dynasty, for instance, there were four dominant types of ceramic vase shapes: plum-shaped, pear-shaped, cong-shaped (tall and square) and double-gourd.
Chinese ceramics that were made during the Qing dynasty were demonstrative of an expanded artistic expression, with more delicate shapes and a focus on intricate detailing. The shapes of ceramics from this era are thinner, taller and have subtle features like a gentle flare, such as on the mallet-shaped vase.
Later, the 17th- and 18th-century interior design trend of chinoiserie brought Asian paintings and screens, textiles and other art and furniture from the continent into many European homes.
Explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics on 1stDibs to find the perfect piece for your home.
