Not on sale. 1753 This is a rather magnificent, hand-painted vase. You'd be surprised if you saw it. The design is from a long time ago and is very unique. I think you can understand the historical background well. It's very old. Kutani ware began 330 years ago in the early Edo period. Go To Saijiro infiltrated the village of Karatsu in Kyushu and, after much effort, mastered its secrets, finally producing the five-colored masterpiece, Ko-Kutani. It was fired for over 50 years, shrouded in mystery, and then suddenly disappeared. This is the reason it is called the phantom masterpiece, which the world is proud of. After that, for over 100 years, attempts were made to reproduce the masterpiece Ko-Kutani, and that was Saiko-Kutani's Kasugayama, Yoshidaya, Wakasugi kiln, Iidaya, Shozo, Michihiraki, and Eiraku, and it was passed down to modern Kutani. From ancient times, many master craftsmen in the East and West have pursued precious natural gems. The Kutani master craftsmen, dreaming of reproducing that mysterious luster artificially, have desperately challenged stone and fire in battle. Ko-Kutani, Saiko-Kutani, That is Kutani. It is truly a blessing that you can now use Kutani ware, Japan's handmade jewel, in your hands. Please use it with care. Vase height 37 CM, diameter 16 CM, vase's thickest circumference 67 CM.
