Porcelain - Meiji period (1868-1912)

Porcelain Kutani pot mounted on a decorative bronze (or gilt brass) mounting, dating from the Meiji era (late 19th century – early 20th century). • Kutani Porcelain: It features the region's traditional style, recognizable by its cream-white crackled background, its extensive use of red iron red-orange, its accents of precious gold, and its fine hand-painted work. • The Decor: The pot bears a classic naturalist scene depicting a bird in flight among wildflowers, reeds, and delicate foliage. • The Bronze Mount: The pierced, foliate-scroll handles as well as the elevated tripod base are typical of the European influence of the late 19th century.
