Vintage Japanese Kutani Bowl with Go Game Scene, Hand Painted, Signed, 14.5cm

A finely hand-painted vintage Japanese Kutani bowl featuring a figural scene of three men playing Go, a traditional Japanese board game. The interior is richly decorated in iron red, pale green, blue, and gold tones with Moriage-style raised white and black dots forming floral details. The exterior is adorned with scroll motifs and red roundels, characteristic of Kutani design.

The base is signed 九谷 (Kutani) in red, indicating its origin in the historic Kutani ware tradition of Japan. This bowl likely dates from the Showa period (c. 1950s–1970s) and is a wonderful example of mid-century Kutani export porcelain.
