About the Item

Matching Large Japanese Imari Porcelain Vases. 1880 Meiji period. Introducing an exquisite pair of Japanese Imari porcelain vases from the Meiji period, circa 1880. Standing tall at 24.5 inches, they captivate with their timeless beauty. The first thing that catches the eye are the striking cobalt blue stylized bands, adorned with stylized motifs like gilded lotus flowers, encircling the vases' short necks and lower sections. These bands serve as captivating frames for the enchanting hand-painted summer garden and tree of life scene that adorns the main bodies of the vases. The masterful use of translucent cobalt blue toning in the tree of life motif, provides a sense of depth and substance. The entire vase is a vibrant garden tableau, teeming with a delightful array of birds, including the majestic phoenix. Amongst the colorful flowers, chrysanthemums and roses, in a delightful palette of hues, it feels as though one is truly immersed in a beautiful summer garden, with the tree of life rising majestically amidst the natural splendor. The color scheme is tastefully complemented by a clean white background, enhancing the brilliance of the garden and its array of shades - from verdant greens to vivid oranges, blues, pinks, yellows, and delicate rust red buds. The inner lip is adorned with delicate and repeating translucent rust red foliate motifs, adding a refined touch to these already captivating vases. Truly a remarkable find, these hand-painted matching Imari Vases exude elegance and artistry, a piece of history that evokes the beauty and serenity of a Japanese garden in full bloom.
