Description from the seller

Pair of Ginger Jars / Jars Ginger Imari - Gold Imari Hand Painted - Japanese Porcelain with Rich Enamels and Gold - C.1960-1970

Magnificent pair of ginger jars (ginger jars) from the prestigious Japanese export line Gold Imari, crafted during the second half of the 20th century.

These pieces stand out for their dazzling traditional Imari-style decoration, characterized by an elaborate chromatic combination of cobalt blue underglaze, iron red, and abundant hand-painted gold applications. The design features medallions with white reserves decorated with delicate birds on flowering branches (pine and plum) and traditional landscapes with oriental architecture, framed by richly brocaded backgrounds and embossed gold floral motifs. At the bases are the distinctive seals of authenticity in gold and caligraphed characters in blue under glaze.

Kinrande aesthetics and technique: They employ the classic Imari style Trinity: deep cobalt blue underglaze, iron red, and abundant hand-painted gold. This saturation technique is traditionally known as kinrande (gold brocade) and seeks an effect of decorative opulence.

Iconography: The medallions display motifs deeply rooted in Japanese pictorial tradition, such as pine and plum trees in blossom, birds on branches, and landscapes with oriental architecture, symbolizing longevity, resilience, and the beauty of the seasons.

Marking: The gold framed seal reading "Gold Imari Hand Painted Japan", combined with the manually handwritten Caligraphic signature in blue under glaze, certifies their origin in the traditional kilns of the Arita region adapted to postwar international trade. The extremely high manual labor involved in each piece.
