Decorative tray - Kutani - Japan - vintage decorative plate

Vintage decorative plate in Japanese porcelain in Kutani style (Kutani-yaki), characterized by an octagonal rectangular shape and a dark cobalt-blue glaze with rich decorations in fine gold and colored enamels. Central subject: It depicts two majestic peacocks (a male with a plumed tail and a female) set in a lush blooming garden with peonies and cherry blossoms, traditional Asian symbols of nobility, prosperity, and beauty. The outer border is decorated with very elaborate gold geometric patterns (honeycomb and reticulated motifs), interspersed with reserves or cartouches that enclose additional finely painted floral motifs. This is a classic export piece from the second half of the twentieth century, widely appreciated by collectors of East Asian art for the brilliance of the gilding and the relief details.
