About the Item

Japanese Meiji Period Blue & White Jardiniere with Shishi Dogs & Barrels: 1880 This impressive Japanese porcelain jardiniere, hailing from the Meiji period around 1880, is a testament to the enduring allure of blue and white ceramics. A masterwork of size and craftsmanship, this jardiniere bears witness to the remarkable fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and symbolism. Adorning the upper section of the jardiniere, just below the rim, is a decorative band adorned with stylized scrolls and delicate floral motifs. This ornate band pays homage to the broad rim that gracefully encircles the jardiniere's upper portion, decorated in a similar manner, accentuating the piece's cohesiveness and attention to detail. Set against a background of white porcelain, the jardiniere's bulbous body serves as a canvas for a translucent blue and white dynamic pattern that envelops the entirety of the main bowl. Within this tapestry, a lively and delightfully expressive pack of Shishi dogs playfully interacts with wine barrels. Originating from Chinese mythology, the Shishi was embraced by Okinawans in the 15th century as protectors against malevolent spirits and misfortune. In this jardiniere, they partake in a lively play with wine barrels, symbolizing abundance and prosperity, infusing the composition with a touch of whimsy. Surrounding the Shishi Dogs are luxuriant, oversized peonies, stylized scrolls, and circular lattice work, creating a scene teeming with vitality and charm. The nuanced shades of translucent blue, ranging from delicate pastels to deep cobalts, imbue the artwork with depth and tonality. Notably, the peonies are brought to life through subtle gradations and intricate detailing, achieving a level of realism that is truly remarkable. The lower base of the jardiniere features a repeating pattern, depicting stylized mountain peaks. This jardiniere represents a harmonious union of Japanese artistry and mythology, serving as a testament to the superb craftsmanship of the Meiji period. Its fusion of cultural influences, celebration of natural beauty, and intricate design make it a treasure.
