EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate porcelain cup from the Meiji era in Kaga Province, Japan. Standing at a height of 4.6 cm, this exquisite piece is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The cup boasts an intricate design with overglaze enamels and gold accents that add a touch of opulence to its already stunning appearance. Crafted by Japanese artisans during the 19th century, this cup belongs to the renowned Kutani ware tradition known for its vibrant motifs and exceptional craftsmanship. The combination of red and gold hues creates a striking contrast against the white porcelain background, making it truly eye-catching. The level of detail on this small vessel is remarkable; every brushstroke seems purposeful and deliberate. Its elegant pattern draws inspiration from traditional Eastern art forms while also showcasing elements unique to Japanese culture. Thanks to Sir Herbert Ingram's generous contribution in 1956, this extraordinary piece found its way into the Ashmolean Museum's collection where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty. As we admire this photograph capturing every intricate detail of this historical treasure, we are reminded once again of humanity's ability to create objects that transcend time and bring joy through their sheer beauty.
