This is a Japanese Kutani ware flower vase produced as an official commemorative piece for an Imperial visit. The inscription on the base clearly states “皇太子同妃殿下 行啓記念”, indicating that this vase was specially made to commemorate the official visit (Gyokei) of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Japan in Showa 60 (1985). Such items were not commercial products, but were commissioned in limited numbers for ceremonial or institutional purposes related to Imperial events. The vase features vivid yellow and blue glazing with gold accents, reflecting the formal and celebratory character expected of Imperial commemorative works. It is signed “Saichi (佐一)” on the base, attributed to Matsumoto Saichi, and comes with its original wooden storage box. While Kutani ware is widely collected, Imperial visit commemorative pieces represent a distinct and highly specialized category, valued primarily for their historical context, official status, and limited production, rather than decorative appeal alone.
