This elegant Kutani-yaki vase features a dynamic design of a flying crane with trees and mountains, set against golden clouds. The composition symbolizes longevity, harmony, and prosperity, themes deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
Kutani ware, with origins in the 17th century, is celebrated for its bold palette of red, green, yellow, purple, and navy blue. These colors are skillfully applied to diverse motifs—flowers, birds, landscapes, figures, and geometric patterns—through meticulous brushwork and precise potter’s wheel techniques. Each piece showcases the artistry and refinement of its maker.
Presented in a traditional wooden box, this vase is not only a decorative statement but also a treasured collectible.
