This vintage Kutani-yaki lidded footed bowl set (九谷焼 高台器 蓋付) is a charming example of Japanese decorative porcelain, combining elegant form with the rich ornamental character associated with Kutani ware. Each piece features a raised footed bowl shape with a matching lid, giving the set a refined and ceremonial presence suitable for serving small dishes, sweets, condiments, or for decorative display.
The white porcelain body is decorated with a graceful floral motif in deep blue-grey and warm gold tones, accented by small dotted red details at the flower centers. The use of gold brings a soft brilliance to the design, while the muted floral palette gives the pieces a calm, vintage atmosphere. The wide, flat lid creates a beautiful surface for the painted decoration, and the small central knob is shaped for easy lifting.
Kutani ware, originating from Ishikawa Prefecture, is known for its expressive decoration, vivid colors, and refined overglaze painting. This set reflects a more understated side of Kutani aesthetics, balancing delicate floral ornament with practical tableware form. The elevated foot gives the bowls a formal appearance, often associated with special serving vessels used in Japanese dining.
As vintage pieces, they may show light signs of age and use, such as minor surface wear, small marks, or gentle fading to the gold decoration, all of which add to their character and authenticity. A beautiful set for collectors of Japanese ceramics, tea table styling, or anyone who appreciates elegant vintage Kutani porcelain.
