AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Covered double-gourd vase — Polychrome peonies on cobalt blue ground, by Fujii Katsuun
From the collection of Mr. D, Europe.
Shipped from Europe: no customs fees for EU bidders.
Rare on the European market. Very large covered double-gourd vase (65 cm) in porcelain, made by Fujii Katsuun in 1990. The piece is executed in the nishikide (錦手) technique, which combines a sometsuke (染付) ground — cobalt blue underglaze on white paste — with polychrome high-fired enamels and gilded highlights applied in overglaze. Against this deep striated blue ground bloom peonies in red, white, pink and turquoise enamels, enhanced with gilding, in the decorative register of the great parade vases of Japanese porcelain. The piece is signed in underglaze blue under the foot. Accompanied by its matching stopper. Very good condition.

Fujii Katsuun
Japanese ceramist working in the tradition of large decorative porcelain vases, Fujii Katsuun masters the nishikide technique — combining cobalt blue underglaze (sometsuke), polychrome high-fired enamels, and gilded highlights. This decorative register, developed in the Arita and Kutani kilns in the 17th and 18th centuries, is characteristic of monumental pieces made for display.
