About the Item

This splendid pair of large 20" tall jars presents a lyrical garden scene hand-painted in underglaze cobalt blue on creamy white porcelain. Each jar features a songbird perched amid flowering branches laden with fruit, while two birds glide gracefully above. The painter’s sure touch gives vitality to the feathers and foliage, creating depth and movement throughout the composition. The two jars are mirror images of one another, designed to form a harmonious pair. Along the top edge of each jar runs a blue band of scrolling vines and blossoms that echoes the matching border on each domed cover, while another band encircles the base in a complementary pattern. The bold blue finials complete the design with sculptural clarity. Dimensions: 20" tall x 10" diameter at the widest point x 5.15" diameter at the base Condition: Excellent Price: $3,600 Decoration: Hand-painted underglaze cobalt blue depicting songbirds, fruit trees, and floral borders Material: Porcelain Style: Meiji Era, Japanese Blue and White Origin: Japan Date: Circa 1880 Notable Details: • Hand-painted mirrored compositions of birds among flowering fruit trees • Elegant cobalt blue decoration on fine white porcelain • Matching scroll-and-flower borders on lid and shoulder • Distinctive blue finials emphasizing balance and symmetry • Exemplary export porcelain from Japan’s Meiji period Background: Japan opened itself to the rest of the world in the mid-nineteenth century. In the Meiji era (1868–1912), Japanese porcelain manufacturers had great success 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.
