Kutani pottery

Kutani pottery is a traditional Japanese ceramic style originating from the Kutani region in Ishikawa Prefecture. Established in the 17th century, it is renowned for its vibrant, bold colors—especially red, green, blue, violet, and yellow—and intricate designs. Typically featuring landscapes, animals, and floral patterns, Kutani ware is characterized by its fine craftsmanship and rich ornamentation. The pottery is made using a high-temperature glazing process, resulting in durable, visually striking pieces often used for decorative art, tea sets, and vases. Its distinctive style reflects Japanese artistry and a long history of cultural craftsmanship.
