AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
covered vases in Imari porcelain.
Japan, late Edo period / early Meiji (19th century)
Embroidered Brocade with Gold-Painted Window Motifs Portrait of a Beauty Cherry Blossoms, Plum Blossoms, Peonies Circular Crest Agarwood Incense Burner
Beautiful covered porcelain vases, richly decorated in the traditional palette of cobalt blue, iron red, and gilded highlights. Each vase features a polygonal body adorned with stylized floral cartouches and harmoniously arranged geometric motifs, characteristic of the Imari style, intended for both the Japanese market and export.
The finely executed floral decorations testify to careful craftsmanship and a balanced composition, with an alternation of decorative reserves and colored backgrounds. The lids, topped with sculpted handles, feature the same motifs, ensuring a high visual coherence throughout.
Slight irregularities are observed in the dimensions and shapes of the covers' handles, as well as in some contours, which serve as a good indicator of handmade craftsmanship typical of antique Imari porcelain.
Technique:
Handcrafted and hand-decorated porcelain, with polychrome enamels under and over glaze, featuring gilded highlights.
