【M-054】 A vase with a red-painted sage design, inheriting the style of Aoki Mokubei, a master of Kutani ware. This is a very interesting piece, with vivid red painting and gold accents depicting sages (hermits). Mokubei was a potter and painter who was active in Kyoto during the late Edo period. The expressions of the figures and the patterns on their clothing are carefully depicted, and the elegant finish evokes the splendor of Ko-Kutani and Saiko-Kutani. This is a piece with a strong presence that will look good in both Japanese-style and Western-style rooms. 【Product Details】 ・Type: Kutani ware vase (flower vase) ・Subject: Red-painted sage design ・Mark: "Mokubei" mark (on the bottom), slightly blurred ・Condition: No noticeable chips or cracks, only minor scratches due to age. ・Accessories: None (body only) Recommended for those who appreciate the aged appearance of antique items and old pottery.
