About the Item

Small tripod vase with narrow neck decorated with polychrome and gold enamels in Satsuma ware. The lip is multi-lobed and underlined with gold. The decoration is composed of haloed characters in cartouches on a dotted background. They are the 18 Luohans or Arhats, characters from Buddhist mythology. The background is lined with decorative motifs reminiscent of paper cutouts. On the neck, we find motifs of crosses inscribed in circles. Through the mouth, one can see the off-white crackled enamel background characteristic of Satsuma productions in the Meiji period (1868-1912). This is a very refined Japanese production from the 19th century. The 18 Luohans or Arhats are, according to Buddhist mythology, the original followers of Gautama Buddha. They have reached the four stages of enlightenment towards Nirvana. Their role is to protect the Buddhist faith and wait for the coming of Maitreya, the enlightening Buddha. They are a symbol of the Great Vehicle Buddhism which advocates helping others to reach Nirvana rather than seeking it only for oneself. They are often depicted with European features (high nose, thick eyebrows, round eyes...) according to the description made by the monk Guanxiu in 891.

Located in Paris, FR

Bulb-bottomed vase with long neck decorated with multicolored enamel and gold. It is embellished with arabesques, flowers and latticework patterns in orientalist taste on a marbled Bordeaux background. Remnants of a mark underneath. The fascination with the orient and its exotic decoration dominated the 18th-19th centuries. It was China that started the enthusiasm for the costumes and artistic shapes that came from faraway lands. However, as a result of conquests and colonial Expansion, this fascination saw the displacement of its origins. During the 18th century, Chinese and Turkish styles invaded the salons and gardens of royalty as well as affluent esthetes who prided themselves on their taste for The Orient. From then on, baths were Turkish, furniture was lacquered, Persian tapestries...
