EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century Okimono, or Japanese decorative art object, takes the form of a pair of gamboling piebald puppies. The intricately designed ceramic sculpture, made in the Hirado Mikawachi Ware style of Hirado Ware, showcases the playful and endearing nature of the canine subjects. The piebald markings on the puppies, a combination of white, black, and red overglaze, add a striking contrast against the golden background. The puppies are depicted in a lively and engaging position, as if they are in the midst of playful antics. The close-up perspective of this studio shot allows for a detailed examination of the intricate patterns and textures of the porcelain, which is adorned with delicate brushstrokes and precise detailing. The puppies' expressive faces, with their bright, inquisitive eyes, add to the overall charm and appeal of this ornamental piece. Originating from Japan, this Okimono is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Asian continent and the country's deep connection to the natural world. The piece is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. Despite the unknown creator of this masterpiece, the artistry and craftsmanship of this Okimono are evident in every detail, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or decorative objects.
