These are a high quality pair of very decorative gilded hand enameled Japanese porcelain lidded vases which we date to the Edo period of the 19th century, circa 1830. Each vase has a baluster open necked shape and has been hand painted in an Imari design with varying shades of under-glaze cobalt blue, with over-glaze burnt orange, salmon and grey enamels. The decoration alternates around the central section with many flowers, buildings, fences and other motifs.
