Jar 19th century

This 19th-century "Jar" by Bukkadō is a striking example of Japanese ceramics. The vessel's deep purple glaze, with its contrasting yellow floral motifs, showcases the artist's skilled use of color and design. The intricate patterns, including auspicious symbols and stylized flowers, reflect the traditional decorative motifs prevalent in Japanese art. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece offers a glimpse into the refined craftsmanship of Japanese pottery during the 19th century.
