Product Description
A delicate glimpse into refined Japanese artistry. This antique Meiji period Kutani demitasse cup and saucer is beautifully decorated with geisha figures set within a tranquil garden landscape, capturing a moment of quiet elegance and cultural storytelling.
The scene depicts two finely dressed geisha standing amidst soft greenery and architectural elements, with gentle washes of colour and detailed brushwork bringing depth and atmosphere to the composition. Rich accents of red and green frame the piece, while subtle gilded highlights enhance the overall design without overwhelming its delicacy. The imagery reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the Meiji period, where traditional themes were expressed with increasing refinement for both domestic and export markets.
The cup measures approximately 4.5cm in height and the saucer 11cm in diameter. The piece is signed, adding to its authenticity and collectability. A graceful and culturally significant example of Kutani ware, ideal for collectors or those drawn to finely detailed antique ceramics.
As these are antique and vintage pieces, gentle signs of age are to be expected and form part of each item’s unique history and character. We invite you to contact us for further details or additional photographs should you require them prior to purchase.
