Japanese Kutani Porcelain Lidded Pitcher Geisha Floral Decor
A beautifully decorated Japanese porcelain lidded pitcher in the Kutani style, featuring the classic iron-red, teal, blue, and gold palette. The body is adorned with hand-painted geisha figures in kimono amid lush chrysanthemum gardens and landscape scenes. The scalloped rim, lobed body, and shaped foot ring add elegant form, while the bold red-orange banding frames the decoration above and below. The matching domed lid features a gilded ball finial and continues the floral and landscape motifs. The handle is solid and fully glazed in the signature iron-red. The piece stands approximately 6 to 7 inches tall with the lid in place and is roughly 5 inches wide at its widest point. The base is unglazed at the foot ring with a plain white interior to the base, and no visible maker's mark is apparent in the photos. Minor soil and wear to the foot ring are visible, consistent with age and use. No chips or cracks are visible in the photos. A handsome display piece for collectors of Asian ceramics.
