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.
