About the Maker:

Kutani Ware (九谷焼, Kutani-yaki) originates from Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, and is celebrated for its vibrant overglaze enamels and frequent use of gold. Post-war Kutani porcelain, especially export pieces marked “Genuine Kutani,” was crafted for Western markets during the mid-20th century. These pieces reflect the continuation of a centuries-old decorative tradition dating back to the 17th century.
