Pair of Antique Japanese Imari Jars Meiji Period Circa 1880
Located in Katonah, NY
Both jars are hand-painted in traditional Imari designs. They feature beautiful waterside scenes painted in cobalt blue and two shades of iron red, all with gilded accents. The colors are vibrant, and the scenes are complex. One jar features a shoreline, while the other scene features a cresting wave. Above the main scenes on each jar, there are medallions adorned with gilded floral decorations. Additionally, a ring of patterns inspired by Japanese textiles encircles the shoulder and base of each jar. The hand-painted panels on the reverse side mirror the designs on the front but include many subtle variations. On the side of each jar, there is a classic Imari depiction of a vase set on a garden terrace. These exquisite pieces were crafted in Japan during the Meiji Period, around 1880.
