This Kutani-yaki vase features a graceful flying crane with the iconic red Mount Fuji rising in the background. Together, the motifs symbolize longevity, strength, and good fortune, making this piece a meaningful work of art as well as a decorative statement.
Kutani ware, originating in the 17th century, is celebrated for its vivid palette of red, green, yellow, purple, and navy blue. These colors are masterfully applied to a wide variety of designs—flowers, birds, landscapes, figures, and geometric patterns—through skillful brushwork and precise potter’s wheel craftsmanship. Each piece embodies the artistry and refinement of its maker.
Presented in a traditional wooden box, this vase is both a collectible and an elegant display piece.
