Vase - Stoneware - Japan (No reserve price)

Item Description Title of Artwork: Elegant Japanese Ceramic Set: Modernist Céladon Dimpled Vase & Traditional Kutani Peony Vase This exquisite set features two distinct Japanese ceramic vases, offering a beautiful contrast between minimalist modernism and traditional Kutani artistry. The larger vase is a stunning Céladon-style bulbous vessel characterized by a serene, pale aqua-blue glaze. Its most striking feature is a deliberate, soft indentation on the side, creating a contemporary "dimpled" aesthetic that catches the light beautifully. The smooth, glossy finish and organic form make it a perfect centerpiece for modern interiors. The smaller vase is a classic example of Kutani-yaki (Kutani ware), created by the artist Kozan. It features a vibrant, hand-painted yellow peony—a symbol of prosperity and nobility—set against a finely crackled (kannyu) off-white ground. The bold use of "Gousai" (five colors) and the delicate gold accents are hallmarks of the Kutani tradition, bringing a touch of Japanese elegance to any space. Together, these two pieces represent the breadth of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship, from understated elegance to ornate floral beauty. Size Light Blue Vase: Height: 14 cm Width: 13 cm Depth: 13 cm Kutani Flower Vase: Height: 10 cm Width: 11 cm Depth: 11 cm Weight: 633 g / 0.633 kg (Blue: 413g / Kutani: 220g) Condition Both vases are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or signs of restoration. Artist Profile 九谷 弘山 Kutani Kozan Kozan is a recognized name in Kutani ware, a style of Japanese porcelain from Ishikawa Prefecture known for its vivid overglaze painting and bold designs. This piece showcases the traditional "Kachoga" (bird and flower) motif, executed with the technical precision and rich color palette characteristic of the Kutani kilns. 【Shipping Notice】 Due to the current situation in the Middle East, shipment from Japan may not be possible to certain regions.
