Kutani Ware Dragon Dance: A 19th Century Porcelain Masterpiece
About the Item
This large 19th-century Kutani ware porcelain plate (SKU: ZD66) is a celebration of Japanese mythology and the timeless art of porcelain-making. Featuring an exuberant scene of dragons frolicking among swirling clouds, the plate is alive with movement and energy.
The dragons, rendered in exquisite detail, are symbols of power, strength, and good fortune in East Asian culture. They cavort against a vivid backdrop of golden yellow, a color traditionally associated with royalty and respect. This dynamic tableau is outlined with bold reds and greens, highlighted by the meticulous use of white and blue that gives depth and life to the celestial dance.
Kutani ware is famed for its vivid colors and intricate designs, and this plate is a quintessential example of the craft at its zenith. Each scale and whisker of the dragons has been carefully painted, a testament to the artist's skill and the cultural significance of the dragon motif.
As an artifact of the 19th century, this plate connects us to the aesthetic preferences of the time and the masterful handiwork of Kutani artisans. It would make a remarkable addition to any collection of fine antiques, bringing with it the mystique of ancient legends and the unparalleled beauty of Japanese ceramic tradition.
