Kutani-Style Japanese Vase with Butterflies and Florals on White Ground
About the Item
A richly decorated Japanese Kutani-style ceramic vase featuring a vivid design of butterflies and chrysanthemums over a crisp white ground. This vintage piece is a showcase of intricate enamel work, with overglaze decoration in warm tones of coral, iron red, black, and gold. Dozens of butterflies in varying shapes and patterns flutter among stylized flowers, creating a densely layered visual field that celebrates nature and transformation.
The vase’s rounded ovoid body and short neck with flared rim provide an ideal canvas for the elaborate surface painting. Finely applied gilt highlights shimmer across the composition, accentuating wing patterns, petal outlines, and geometric bands at the shoulder and base. The floral motifs, arranged in rhythmic clusters, evoke traditional textile and fan designs.
Likely made in the late 20th century for export, this Kutani-style vase reflects the ornate aesthetic rooted in Meiji and Taisho-period decorative arts. A strong statement piece for collectors and designers alike, it makes a striking impact on consoles, shelves, or pedestals—whether styled alone or among other Japanese ceramics. The opening is 3.5" diameter.
