Description from the seller
Japanese Kutani sake service – 7 pieces – Hand-painted flower and bird decor – Made by Katsuo Miura under the direction of Isokichi Asakura – With original box
Magnificent Japanese Kutani porcelain sake service, consisting of two flasks (tokkuri) and five cups (ochoko).
This service, created by the Japanese artist Katsuo Miura (三浦勝雄), is inspired by Ko-Kutani porcelain from the 17th century.
According to the original Japanese explanatory document, the decorations were executed by hand by Katsuo Miura under the direction of the famous ceramic master Isokichi Asakura (浅蔵五十吉), a major figure in Kutani ceramics.
The design features pheasants, flowers and foliage in a rich palette of traditional colors: turquoise, blue, violet, yellow and reddish-brown.
The two flasks boast an elegant gourd-like silhouette, while the five cups reproduce the same floral and animal motifs.
Each piece bears a mark on its base.
Estimated period: Shōwa era, probably 1970s–1980s, to be confirmed.
Composition:
- 2 sake flasks
- 5 sake cups
- Original wooden box (tomobako)
- Original Japanese explanatory document
Dimensions:
- Flasks: 18.5 × 8 × 8 cm
- Cups: diameter 5.7 cm, height 3 cm
- Box: 27 × 20.7 × 10.8 cm
Condition: good overall appearance, see carefully the photographs.
A particularly interesting set for collectors of Japanese ceramics, accompanied by its original box and a document detailing its artistic attribution.
