Kutani Ware Sometsuke Standing Kannon Bodhisattva Statue, Hand-Painted, Antique Ornament

Thank you for viewing.

This is a Kutani ware sometsuke (blue and white porcelain) standing statue of Kannon Bodhisattva, adorned with exquisite hand-painted designs.
The bottom is inscribed with Kutani.

The entire robe is densely decorated with powerful and beautiful wave and phoenix (cloud-like) patterns, rendered in varying shades of gosu (cobalt blue) through a meticulous hand-painting technique. This is a highly detailed masterpiece that truly conveys the artisan's touch.
The facial features are also very elegant, with a serene and beautiful expression.

Standing at 35cm tall, it possesses a commanding presence, making it a wonderful addition to your tokonoma (alcove), entryway, or living room decor, or as an auspicious item or collectible.
