About the Item
A magnificent testament to the artistry of the Japanese Meiji period (1868-1912), this rare Satsuma earthenware urn is an extraordinary find. Crafted in Japan circa 1880, its delicate crackled glaze enhances its timeless allure, while its opulent decoration captivates the eye. Rich polychrome enamels bring the Lohan scenes to life, elegantly highlighted with luminous gilt accents. The urn's gracefully upturned handles and intricately sculpted lid, crowned with a striking Foo dog or dragon figure, amplify its regal presence. Raised on three sculptural legs adorned with animal heads that seamlessly merge into paw feet, this masterpiece exudes both strength and refinement. A faded artist's signature graces the interior edge of the lid—a subtle yet significant mark of its authenticity. This exceptional creation is a true jewel of Japanese artistry, destined to command admiration. This is an exceptional and rare Satsuma earthenware urn or covered vase from the Japanese Meiji period (1868-1912). It has upturned handles and a gorgeous lid with a Foo dog or dragon carved sculpture. A faded artist's signature is on the interior edge of the lid.
Dimensions: 12.63 in wide (32 cm) by 8.69 in deep (22 cm) by 18.50 in high (47 cm).
Note: Mahayana Buddhism regarded a group of eighteen Arhats (with different names and personalities) as awaiting the return of the Buddha as Maitreya. Other groupings of six, eight, sixteen, one hundred, and five hundred characters appear in tradition and Buddhist art, especially in East Asia, and are referred to as luohan or lohan. One can see them as the Buddhist equivalents of the Christian Saints, apostles, or early disciples and leaders of the faith.
