【Product details】

A striking Kutani porcelain vase by Masahiko Tokuda (徳田正彦), who later succeeded to the name Tokuda Yasokichi III and was designated a Living National Treasure in 1997.

Kutani ware is one of Japan’s best-known porcelain traditions, originating in present-day Ishikawa Prefecture and celebrated for its rich colours and distinctive decorative techniques.

Created before his succession in 1988, the vase features his celebrated Hekimei glaze, with vivid blue, green and yellow tones flowing across the rounded body into a deep, almost black lower section. The rich colour transitions and glossy surface give the piece a strong presence.

The base bears the artist’s signature. It comes with its original signed wooden box and a yellow protective cloth bearing the artist’s seal.

Good to very good vintage condition with minor surface blemishes. Please refer to the photos for details.
