Beautiful hand-painted porcelain vase from the renowned Kakiemon Kiln, one of the oldest family-run porcelain kilns in Japan dating back to the 1640s. This elegant vase features the classic Kakiemon style with delicate bird and floral motifs in soft overglaze enamels on a luminous white porcelain body. The refined use of color and negative space reflects the artistry that made Kakiemon porcelain famous worldwide. The Kakiemon tradition was established by Sakaida Kakiemon I, who pioneered colorful overglaze enamels in Japan around 1647. Today the kiln continues producing fine porcelain using traditional hand-crafted techniques passed down for generations. This exact vase design has been retailed through authorized luxury retailers such as Area Studio for approximately $2,500 and is currently sold out. Signed underside. A stunning piece for collectors of Japanese porcelain, Arita ware, and fine Asian ceramics.
