For sale is a beautiful, matching pair of vintage early 20th-century Japanese Kutani
earthenware vases. These pieces showcase a classic design crossover from the export
boom era, featuring highly detailed, hand-painted "Satsuma-style" pagoda and mountain
landscapes highlighted with brilliant red panels and raised gold gilt accent work.
**Historical Context & Authentication**

on the base, reading "Kutani" (九谷), originating from the historic Kaga Province
(modern Ishikawa Prefecture).
* **Era:** Early 20th Century (Late Meiji to Taishō period export ware).
* **Material:** Authentic cream-tan earthenware pottery body featuring a beautiful,
all-over fine web crackle glaze characteristic of the period.
**Condition Report**
Excellent vintage condition. There are no chips, cracks, or repairs. The fine line
crazing texture visible across the cream body is a natural, intentional characteristic
of the regional crackle glaze technique and is not a defect. Hand-painted gold gilt
shows minimal wear consistent with age. Please review the high-resolution photos for
exact cosmetic details.
**Measurements**
* Height: Approximately 7.25 inches
