Spectacular Antique Meiji p. Kutani Vase
The work on this superb Meiji p. Kutani vase would easily rival that of the greatest studios of the time (and surpass those of today!). Chrysanthemum and other flowers in overglaze enamels spread their brilliant foliage over the whit pebble textured moriage shoulder, Gold fading to white below the bamboo fence-like belt inlayed with kiri-kane gold and silver diamonds. Dew drops of gold moriage cling to the large leaves while plums blossom below. All of the work is both vibrant and meticulous, showing a great attention to detail. It is 11 inches (29 cm) tall, 6 inches (15 cm) diameter and in excellent condition enclosed in a box dated 1924 with a Kiwame on the lid by Tabushi Kyojiro attributing the vessel to the work of Hirao Gen. The base stamp reads Kutani Taniguchi.
