A 19th C. Japanese Porcelain Kutani Red Ground Scroll Cartouche Vase
About the Item
A 19th C. Japanese Porcelain Kutani Red Ground Scroll Cartouche Vase. This stunning piece features a breathtaking pastoral scene, meticulously hand-painted on a shape reminiscent of an unwrapping scroll, showcasing the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese art. The main panel of the vase portrays a picturesque landscape adorned with multiple deer surrounded by majestic trees, rolling mountains, and occasional fences. A lovely green sloping hill takes center stage, with two graceful deer captivatingly depicted in fluid and dynamic poses—one standing tall and the other lying down. The standing deer and a distant deer on a neighboring hill are elegantly embellished with 24K gold accents, adding a touch of opulence to the scene.
Above the deer, the sky glows with the radiance of an orange/red sun surrounded by delicately gilded clouds. The deer are considered sacred messengers of the gods in Japanese folklore, further infusing the artwork with cultural significance and meaning. On the back painted surface of the illusionary scroll, a mesmerizing pattern of geometrically stylized foliate in red, white, and green adorns the surface, complementing the beauty of the main scene on the front.
The vase's body boasts a beautiful red ground adorned with stylized free-form pale pink and lavender flowers interwoven with scrolled foliate, creating a harmonious and pleasing visual balance. The reverse side of the vase continues the scroll-shaped border motif, featuring multi-colored cranes flying, preening, and gazing at a small cottage in the distance, some gorgeously accentuated with 24K gilt. A beautiful stylized shrubbery completes the scene, adding depth and interest. The collar and neck of the vase are adorned with a delightful pattern of cobalt blue stylized foliate on a pale yellow background, interspersed with small panels featuring red, white, green, and gold stylized flowers in various elegant styles and shapes. Detailed pale pink multi-petaled blossoms grace the neck, lending a touch of refinement and grace. The lip of the vase is adorned with a charming red and white trim, featuring distinct patterns on the top and just below the lip, contributing to the vase's overall charm and allure. At the very base of the vase, a lovely cobalt blue and white border with a translucent and opaque blue foliate pattern creates an illusion of depth within the design, rounding off this extraordinary piece with finesse.
