Description from the seller
Japanese 九谷焼Kutani Ware Hand Painted Porcelain Vase 奉山Hozan Floral Gold Decoration Vintage
This elegant Kutani ware vase showcases a refined and sophisticated floral composition, characteristic of traditional Japanese decorative porcelain. The body features large stylized blossoms rendered in warm tones of orange, pink, and deep plum, contrasted beautifully against a soft ivory ground. The flowers are accentuated with delicate linework and gold detailing, demonstrating skilled hand-painted craftsmanship.
The shoulder is adorned with a geometric band in green, red, and gold, adding a subtle yet luxurious accent that frames the composition. The use of gold highlights and textured brushwork reflects the classic Kutani aesthetic, known for its vibrant colors and decorative richness.
The base bears the signature “奉山” (Hozan), indicating the work of a Kutani artist or kiln associated with this name. The overall form is well-balanced with a gently rounded body and slightly flared neck, making it suitable both as a functional flower vase and as a decorative art piece.

Artist Profile
Hozan (奉山) is a name associated with Kutani ware production, a traditional Japanese ceramic style originating from Ishikawa Prefecture. Kutani ware is renowned for its vivid overglaze enamels, intricate designs, and use of gold accents. While detailed biographical information about this specific artist is limited, works signed “Hozan” typically reflect skilled craftsmanship within the Kutani tradition, particularly during the Showa period when decorative export ceramics flourished.
