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...

This beautiful pair of 19th century French porcelain apothecary jars exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of early pharmacy containers. Each jar features a slightly domed lid with a round finial, delicately highlighted with gilt accents. The bodies are hand-painted with rich polychrome decoration, including palm trees, medical caduceus symbols, and stylized serpents entwined around classical columns—traditional emblems of medicine and healing. The jars are inscribed with their original Latin labels: CONS: TAMAR: (Conserve of Tamarind) and EXT: PAPAV: (Extract of Poppy), both once commonly used in apothecaries for medicinal remedies. Their elegant design combines functionality with refined decoration, making them as decorative as they are historic. These jars would have originally been displayed in a 19th century pharmacy, both as storage vessels and as visible markers of important remedies. Today, they make striking decorative pieces for collectors of antique medical instruments...
