AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of 2 Japanese porcelain vases – blue-and-white – Meiji period (1868–1912)

Elegant set of two Japanese porcelain vases from the Meiji period, executed in a classic blue-and-white decor. These charming vases show the refinement and craftsmanship of Japanese porcelain from the late 19th to early 20th century.

Both vases have a slender, slightly baluster-shaped form with a subtly flared neck. They are hand-painted in underglaze cobalt blue, with floral and landscape motifs. The brushwork is lively and expressive, with beautiful variations in color intensity, giving each piece a unique character.

Although offered as a pair, the decorations display small variations – typical of handmade work from this period.

Features:
• Origin: Japan
• Period: Meiji period (1868–1912)
• Material: porcelain
• Decoration: hand-painted in blue-and-white (underglaze)
• Quantity: 2 pieces
• Condition: good antique condition, light signs of use appropriate for age, no visible restorations

This set makes a refined addition to an Asian porcelain collection and is also highly decorative as a pair on a cabinet, mantel, or table.
