Porcelain

A porcelain okimono depicting a sinuous koi carp (鯉). The body is carefully modeled with attention to the rendering of the scales and fins, with a glazed surface that enhances the chromatic contrast. Blue painted signature under the belly. The koi carp is a recurring subject in Japanese tradition, symbolizing perseverance, strength, and determination, associated with the ability to swim upstream and overcome obstacles. Okimono (置物), combining the kanji "oki" (置き, to place) and "mono" (物, object), refers to a decorative object meant for display. Okimono, popular in the Meiji period (1868 - 1912), were finely crafted sculptures made from materials such as ivory, boxwood, wood, and bronze. The okimono is in very good condition. Please refer to the pictures for further details. The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy. 730
