Kutani - Teapot - Porcelain

Rare and elegant Japanese porcelain teapot Kutani-yaki dating from the late Meiji period, circa 1890-1915.
This refined piece perfectly embodies the golden age of Japonisme that captivated European great houses at the end of the 19th century.

The dynamic silhouette with almost Art Nouveau lines is enhanced by a hand-painted decoration of remarkable delicacy: geishas in kimonos, poetic landscapes, flowering trees and traditional Japanese motifs heightened by generous gilt in fine gold.

The red iron-and-gold handles, particularly sculptural, give the whole piece a theatrical and precious presence. The original lid is preserved, a feature now rare on this type of piece.

The mark under the base confirms Japanese Kutani-quality production.
A refined decorative work as much as a true witness to European Japonisme

Height with lid: 24 cm
Origin: Japan
Period: Meiji / early Taisho (circa 1890-1915)

A piece that would naturally find its place in a maximalist interior, a cabinet of curiosities, a Japonisme collection, or a display case in a specialist antique shop.
