The vivid blue seen here is more commonly found in cloisonné pieces, rather than Kutani porcelain, which generally has orange as the dominant color. Fantastic detail throughout and multiple focal points give this vase immense interest on all sides. Ca. 1900- early 20th century. Good antique condition with artisanal irregularities, as made, some small scuffs to the glazes.
