Antique Japanese Kutani Moriage Porcelain Tea Coffee Pitcher Meiji Gilt Decor

Antique Japanese Kutani porcelain pitcher, Meiji period export, featuring finely hand-painted scenic landscapes, florals, and grape motifs with raised moriage enamel and gilt accents. The porcelain handle and spout are bamboo-form, hand-painted to resemble bamboo, with gold detailing. Red Japanese character mark on base, consistent with Kutani export ware. Measures approx. 5.5 tall. No lid present. Condition: Good antique condition overall. Interior shows age-related staining/sediment from prior use. Hairline crack visible on the interior and faintly on the exterior base area; exterior feels smooth to the touch. Light wear and small losses to gilt, primarily on the spout and rim. No chips or repairs observed. A decorative antique piece recommended for display rather than functional use. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
