An exceptionally decorative pair of Japanese Gold Imari porcelain vases, hand-painted in Arita, Japan, circa 1960s. Both pieces retain their original “GOLD IMARI – Hand Painted” marks to the underside. Each vase measures approximately 30 cm / 11.8 in. high and 19 cm / 7.5 in. in diameter and weighs approximately 2.5 kg / 5.5 lb., giving the pair an unusually substantial and representative presence. The decoration is particularly attractive. A luminous yellow ground is combined with deep cobalt blue, turquoise, emerald green, soft pink, iron red and delicate gilt accents. Large shaped reserves feature beautifully rendered exotic birds surrounded by flowering branches and lush blossoms. Further floral motifs are distributed across the yellow ground, while the cobalt neck and stylized green leaf border around the base create a highly balanced composition. The quality of the hand-painted decoration is especially evident when viewed closely. Individual brushwork, softly graduated colors and small variations in the painted outlines give the surfaces a depth and vitality that is very different from the flatter, more standardized appearance often associated with later or contemporary decorative porcelain. The colors remain remarkably vivid and give the pair an exceptionally fresh appearance. Their strong proportions and richly colored decoration make these vases highly representative decorative objects. At nearly 12 inches high, they have sufficient presence to work beautifully on a console, sideboard, mantel or large table, either in a traditional interior or as a colorful accent within a more restrained contemporary setting. Finding two corresponding Gold Imari vases...

A beautiful, perfectly shaped and balanced antique Bizen ware shibui sake bottle (tokkuri) vase by renowned Japanese master potter/artist Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) featuring a unique natural, wonderfully textured organic forming ash glaze. Kaneshige is universally considered to be the founder of modern Bizen pottery. In 1956, Kaneshige was certified as a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Heritage) for his work in Bizen Ware pottery/ceramics. Bizen Ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of the Okayama prefecture. It is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware). The piece is signed/ sealed on the base with one of Kaneshige's traditional incised marks. A rather striking and engaging work. One of the best Kaneshige works we have come across. Scarce and hard to find in such an excellent condition. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese/Asian pottery or Bizen Ware collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Kaneshige's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, Seto, Japan Brooklyn Museum, NY Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi, Japan Honolulu Art Museum, HI Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, Kasama, Japan Indiana Art...
