Pair Large Blue and White Jars Japan Meiji Period, Circa 1880
About the Item
This pair of large jars has refined blue and white hand-painted decoration that showcases a songbird perched on a flowering tree. Above, two birds are depicted in flight.
The jars are mirror images of each other.
The painter used an underglaze of grey-blue on creamy white porcelain, which resulted in a peaceful garden scene.
Along the top edge of each jar is a blue band with scrolling vines and flowers that match the blue band on each cover.
Finally, there is a decorative blue band that runs along the base of each jar.
Dimensions: 20" tall x 10" diameter at the widest point x 5.15" diameter at the base
Condition: Excellent
Price: $3,400
Background:
Japan opened itself to the rest of the world in the mid-nineteenth century.
In the Meiji era (1868-1912), Japanese porcelain manufacturers succeeded with exports designed to satisfy Western demand for Japanese ceramics.
For more information on the background of Meiji export porcelain, see Meiji Ceramics: The Art of Japanese Export Porcelain and Satsuma Ware 1868-1912 by Gisela Jahn.

- Pair Imari Jars Made in the Meiji Period, Japan Circa 1880Located in Katonah, NYHand-painted in Imari designs, both jars show beautiful waterside scenes in cobalt blue, gilt, and two tones of iron red. The colors are exquisite and intense. We see water lilies, lotus, peonies, and bellflowers. One jar shows a shoreline the other a cresting wave. Above the main scene on each jar is a medallion with gilded floral decoration. Around the shoulder and the base of each jar is a ring of decoration inspired by Japanese textiles. The hand-painted panels on the reverse echo the panels on the front of the jars but with many subtle changes (see image #8). On the side of each jar, we see a traditional Imari image of a vase on the garden terrace. The pair were made in Japan in the Meiji Period, circa 1880. Dimensions: 15" tall x 7" diameter at the widest point. Condition: Excellent.
