Collecting Note:

Kutani porcelain, produced in Ishikawa Prefecture, is renowned for its bold palette of red, green, yellow, and turquoise enamels. This piece reflects the continuation of Kutani decorative traditions into the mid-20th century and was made for export, as indicated by the “Japan” sticker. Collectors value such jars both for their decorative appeal and as representative examples of Japan’s porcelain trade during the Showa era.
