This Imari vase from the late 19th or early 20th century exemplifies Japanese ceramic craftsmanship, made from faience and decorated entirely by hand. The form is classic: a rounded baluster body with a subtly flared neck and gently sloping shoulder, offering stability and proportions typical of traditional Imari wares. The surface is coated in a glossy, smooth glaze that intensifies the palette—a warm, creamy white provides the backdrop for vibrant cobalt blue and iron-red designs. The decoration features stylized peony blossoms and leafy motifs in dynamic, flowing arrangements, complemented by blue geometric bands at the base and neck, and delicate red brushstrokes along the rim. The visible brushwork and intentional irregularities highlight the artisanal, handcrafted nature of the piece. Dimensions: height 21 cm, diameter 11 cm, making it an object of intimate yet striking scale. Condition: good, with minor signs of age such as small glaze imperfections and slight wear to the painted surface, but no significant chips or cracks. The vase seems to speak with the voice of its era—a time when Japanese Imari porcelain gained admiration far beyond its homeland. Its palette—deep cobalt and vivid red on a creamy ground—tells a story of dialogue between East and West, of fascination with ornamentation
