A Japanese coffee pot which were originally made at the Arita Kilns, c.1690-1730.
Although the original pot is modelled after a Dutch silver proto type,
the decoration depicted is in the Japanese style.
The pot has a slightly lobed pear-shaped body resting on its hexagonal base.
It shows a decoration in relief in underglaze blue, overlaid with gold and iron red and green enamel. Above the spout a pine tree with a nest of young cranes, while the parents fly in with food. Furthermore, a prunus and bamboo have been applied to the pot. Together with the pine they form 'The Three Friends of Winter', a symbol for a long life.
The large complicated moulded form is supported by three Japanese males that serve as legs.
