A CHARMING HIRADO WHITE-GLAZED OKIMONO OF AN ELEPHANT

Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Finely modeled as an elephant standing foursquare with its head turned backwards, the trunk curled, the pachyderm’s face with black-accented pupils, the mouth forming a wide smile, flanked by curved tusks and floppy ears, covered overall in a bluish-white glaze. The interior of the right ear is incised with the inscription Dai Nihon Mikawachi […].

LENGTH 22 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities including a small firing crack to one leg and small dark spots, the ear with repairs and minor associated losses.
Provenance: English private collection in London, United Kingdom.

The Hirado kilns were located in Mikawachi, to the south of the large porcelain-manufacturing center of Arita in western Japan. Founded in the early 1600s, they became important producers of porcelain for export to the west during the nineteenth century.

Compare a closely related Hirado ware koro in the form of a recumbent elephant, 25 cm long, illustrated by Louis Lawrence (1997) Hirado: Prince of Porcelain. Encyclopedia of Japanese Art Series, Chicago, p. 128, pl. 97.
