Lost-wax Cast Iron Kettle — Gourd-shaped with Four
Miyatsu Shoten 宮津商店
Year:
1930s
A gourd-shaped lost-wax cast iron kettle with a relatively tall body. The sides feature the "Four Gentlemen" motifs: the elegant orchid, the flexible and resilient bamboo, the plum blossom that proudly blooms in early spring snow, and the chrysanthemum that flourishes brilliantly in the late autumn cold wind.
瓢箪の形をした、胴が比較的高い蝋型鉄瓶。側面には四君子図の蘭が描かれ、気品高い。竹のしなやかさ、梅の早春の雪の中での凛とした開花、菊の晩秋の寒風の中での鮮やかな開花を表現している。
葫芦形状，壶身比较高的一款蜡型铁壶，侧面是四君子图中的兰花，气质高雅，竹的能屈能伸的性质，梅花在早春的雪中最先傲然盛开，菊花在晚秋的寒风中也绚丽盛开。
