DESCRIPTION

A Japanese porcelain vase in the elegant gu form, decorated in the traditional Imari palette.

The body is painted with flowering peonies and foliage in underglaze blue, iron red, and gilt highlights.

The flared rim and foot are accented with geometric and scrolling border designs, characteristic of Meiji period Imari wares.

A decorative and collectible example of late 19th century Japanese porcelain.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Imari porcelain produced during the Meiji period combined traditional decorative motifs with refined enamel and underglaze blue painting for both domestic use and export.

Gu-shaped vases remain popular with collectors for their elegant silhouette and vibrant decorative schemes.
