This Japanese lacquer vase from the 1950s is a piece of decorative artistry, notable for its warm, vivid orange color and lustrous, reflective surface. The slender, elongated teardrop shape with a narrow neck and slightly flared rim is set on an ornate black wooden stand carved in an oriental style. Hand-painted, intricate landscape motifs spread across the body in deep green and gold tones, portraying mountainous scenery, trees, and a small structure reminiscent of a traditional pagoda. The level of detail and composition reflects influences from classic Japanese decorative arts, specifically the Meiji and Showa periods, characteristic of mid-century artistry from Japan. The polished lacquer retains a pronounced gloss and shows only a natural, age-related patina, with no significant damage or visible traces of restoration. The piece is described as being in very good preserved condition.This vase’s orange glow and consciously painted vistas evoke the quiet contemplation and harmony between nature and built environments that marked Japanese daily life in the mid-20th century. Depicting mountains and temple architecture, it conjures an atmosphere of calm interiors where diffuse light and silence transform every decorative detail into a small meditation. The lustrous lacquered surface catches light in a way reserved for masterfully finished pieces, while light patina along the base and rim traces the dignified passage of time.For interior arrangement, the vase can be placed on a low console made of light wood or marble, highlighting the interplay between its vibrant lacquer and the dark base. It fits especially well in eclectic, collector-inspired interiors or spaces referencing mid-century modern style, amplifying its oriental character. The vase may also serve as a solitary accent against a neutral wall, complemented by carved oriental objects or minimalist accessories, allowing its color and painted finesse to become the visual centerpiece.
