ABOUT THIS PIECE
A wonderfully decorative vintage Japanese stoneware pedestal goblet from Otagiri’s discontinued Hacienda collection, designed by Hozan and dating from approximately the 1970s–1980s.
The creamy-white speckled glaze is decorated with a beautifully stylised cobalt-blue scene of flowering prunus blossom emerging around a rocky landscape. Warm brown lines around the rim and pedestal base give the piece additional definition and character.
Its tall, slightly tapering beaker form stands on a shaped pedestal foot. Comparable pieces from the Hacienda collection were produced as ceramic wine goblets, although this example would also look lovely holding a small arrangement of flowers or simply displayed as a decorative object.
The underside bears a small hand-painted blue workshop or decorator’s mark. Otagiri Mercantile Company exported handcrafted Japanese ceramics during the second half of the 20th century, and many examples were originally identified by paper labels that have subsequently been lost.
