Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This is an enchanting blue-green owl figurine beautifully crafted from Kutani ware porcelain. The technique using lead glaze is considered one of the earliest artificially glazed ceramics in Japan, and it allows for the emergence of its unique green color.
The area around the eyes is adorned with a golden hue. Displaying a sacred and gentle glow, the owl's eyes draw you in as you gaze upon them. Delicately painted lines give a lifelike softness to the owl's feathers, capturing its natural grace on porcelain. Its chest subtly shimmers in white silver, while a faint touch of blue below the chin enhances its softness and three-dimensionality. The Kutani-style blue-green hue exudes a dignified and refreshing impression, adding depth to the owl's feathers with its varied shades. The item stands quietly but has a strong presence.
In Japan, the owl has long been considered a bird of good omen for prosperity in business. Additionally, it is revered as a symbol of learning and longevity. In European traditions, the owl is esteemed as the god of wisdom, while in China, it is celebrated as a bird that brings happiness.
Owl figurines are said to bring good luck when placed to decorate areas where people gather, such as living rooms and entryways. This is a great gift for people who love Japanese culture and art.
