Description

This charming vintage ceramic piece features two playful baby shishi (lion dogs) interacting with a ball, crafted by the renowned Kutani Kiln. The vibrant colors and detailed craftsmanship are characteristic of Kutani ware, which is celebrated for its rich history and distinctive, multi-colored glazes.

The Kutani Kiln, established in the mid-17th century in the Kaga Province (modern-day Ishikawa Prefecture), is famous for its vivid, intricate designs and use of bold colors like red, green, blue, yellow, and purple. Kutani ware often features elaborate patterns and detailed depictions of nature, animals, and mythological creatures like shishi, making it highly collectible and admired in both Japan and abroad.
