About the Item

Palace Size Meiji Period Japanese Kutani Porcelain Trumpet Shape Vase, 1880 This exceptional Japanese Kutani vase, boasts a palace-size trumpet shape that stands at an impressive 31 inches in height. Crafted around the year 1880, during the illustrious Meiji Period, this vase represents the pinnacle of Japanese ceramic artistry during that era. Setting itself apart with its wider mouth and short, stout body, elegantly complemented by a pronounced, long, and wide neck with intricate hand-painted designs and traditional Kutani vase colors, enhanced by luxurious 24K gold highlights. The upper band, just below the lip, is adorned with delightful small panels evenly spaced depicting gracefully flying cranes over pretty translucent mint green colored stylized water. In Japanese art and culture, cranes symbolize longevity, luck, and immortality. Their graceful presence has been revered for centuries, as they are believed to possess the ability to live for a thousand years. The inner lip of the vase features a delicate floral motif accompanied by doves. The background of this extraordinary vase is predominantly a rich rust red hue. The larger panel on the front of the vase neck presents a figurative scene of geisha girls engaging in various activities in a picturesque garden setting. The geisha girls are beautifully attired in traditional clothing, and the scene is further accentuated with lavish gilt-adorned flowers, trees, and a majestic phoenix in flight, all enhanced by a large rust red bow at their feet. The long neck of the vase is adorned with smaller panels on other sides, one displaying a mesmerizing twisted translucent emerald green dragon, a symbol of power and good fortune in Japanese culture. The neck is also lavishly embellished with detailed stylized foliate, showcasing a remarkable display of two-toned 24K gold detailing, further adding to its allure. Tied rolled scrolls are tastefully incorporated in various areas, adding an interesting touch to the overall design. The main stout body is thoughtfully divided by a top and bottom border in blue and white, the lower border adopting a captivating geometric style. Upon rotating the vase, the stout body reveals small panels featuring cranes in flight over beautiful mint green stylized seas, reinforcing the theme of harmony and longevity that is so prevalent in Japanese art. The red rust background between these panels is skillfully adorned with stylized feathers and foliage, elegantly showcased in lovely tones of gold and peach with white highlights. This captivating antique Japanese Kutani vase is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, showcasing exquisite detailing, traditional motifs, and a unique trumpet shape that sets it apart as a remarkable and treasured addition to any discerning collector's repertoire. It bears a portion of its original label intact on the base, adding to its provenance and charm.
