This Imari vase from Japan, crafted from faience at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, features a classic, gently swollen silhouette with a slightly flared rim and stable foot. The warm, glazed creamy white serves as the backdrop for hand-painted motifs characteristic of the Imari style: stylized florals, fan shapes, and geometric medallions. Deep cobalt blue and vibrant iron-red dominate the palette, accented by selective gilding that lends a refined touch. The ornamentation is arranged in a harmonious, symmetrical composition, and the glossy surface enhances the clarity of both outlines and intricate details. Measuring 15.5 cm in height and 9 cm in diameter, the vase exemplifies the precision and artistry of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship from its era. It is preserved in very good condition, with only minor signs of wear consistent with age. This vase echoes the spirit of Japanese aesthetics at the turn of the century—a period when traditional techniques met modern influences. The ornamentation reads like a finely woven narrative: cobalt lines flow with the ease of ink drawings, reds illuminate the surface like rays of a rising sun, and gilded accents introduce a subtle glow, as if the piece held onto the memory of old ceremonies. Each motif seems to capture a moment, conveying the calm and harmony so characteristic of Japanese interiors from that time. The vase can be displayed on an oak console or within a glass cabinet, where the light will highlight the depth of the glaze and the interplay of colors. It would complement an oriental or eclectic setting—paired with minimalist ceramics, lacquered boxes, or a single branch of flowers. The piece introduces a bold accent to a classic living room and may be combined with objects from other cultures to emphasize the collector’s spirit of the owner.
