Hirado Blue and White Leaping Carp, Japanese, circa 19th Century
A well-modeled porcelain carp is depicted leaping up against the powerful current of a waterfall. Waves are in underglaze blue, with the carp modeled in white. Hollow form with open mouth and upstanding pose makes this piece suitable as a vase. In Japan, the carp is a symbol of perseverance and stamina.
