EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century Okimono, or Japanese decorative object, showcases a playful tiger in mid-climb onto a rock. The intricately detailed ceramic piece, created in the Hirado Ware style of porcelain with underglaze blue, originates from Japan and is a testament to the country's rich artistic heritage. The tiger's muscular form and expressive smile convey a sense of mischief and energy, making it an engaging and lively addition to any collection. The tiger, a powerful and iconic symbol in Asian culture, is depicted in a full-length pose, its stripes and paw prints rendered in exquisite detail. The use of underglaze blue adds depth and dimension to the piece, making the tiger appear as if it has stepped right out of its natural habitat and onto the rocky outcropping. This Okimono, now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a stunning example of the artistry and craftsmanship that flourished in Japan during the nineteenth century. The close-up perspective in this studio shot allows for a full appreciation of the intricate details and vibrant colors, making it an essential addition to any Asian art or animal enthusiast's collection.
