This exquisite porcelain tea bowl and saucer embody the refined elegance of early 20th-century Kutani ware. The deep, vibrant orange-red ground is lavishly enriched with intricate hand-painted gold brocade patterns that shimmer against the glossy glaze, framing delicate reserves filled with masterful polychrome decoration. Graceful cranes in flight, symbols of longevity and good fortune, weave among lush peonies and chrysanthemums rendered in soft coral, iron-red, black, and subtle touches of green and aubergine. Inside the bowl, a serene landscape unfolds: a traditional pavilion nestled beneath stylized pines and drifting clouds, evoking a quiet moment in an imperial garden. The foot of both pieces reveals the characteristic creamy Kutani body, bearing a faint red painted mark on the saucer’s underside. Every surface glistens with a flawless, glass-like glaze that catches the light, highlighting the luxurious interplay of matte gold and brilliant enamels—a small yet opulent treasure that captures the poetic sophistication of Meiji and Taisho-era Japanese aesthetics.
