Introduced in 1971 and produced for nearly three decades, it draws directly from the tradition of Japanese Kutani porcelain — a nesting crane among vibrant peonies, chrysanthemums, and bamboo, rendered in rich underglaze colour on fine English bone china. The crane, a symbol of longevity, good fortune, and fidelity in Japanese culture, gives the pattern a meaning that goes well beyond decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis miniature trumpet vase — pattern R4464, made at Wedgwood's Barlaston works — is a mint example of the form at its best. The silhouette is pure theatre: a narrow footed base sweeping upward into a dramatically wide flared rim, designed to let short-stemmed wildflowers or small posies drape outward evenly. The gold gilt line tracking the interior rim edge and encircling the foot ring is fully intact — no rubbing, no thinning. A perfect entry point for a new collector, or a considered accent piece for a modern orientalist or eclectic interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Josiah Wedgwood \u0026amp; Sons Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Kutani Crane', R4464\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1971–1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 158 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine English Bone China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMint vintage condition.
