Description

Antique Pair 19thC Japanese Porcelain Lidded Jars Pots Floral Decoration

Brief Description:

This is a beautiful matching pair of original 19th-century Japanese Porcelain Lidded Jars, wonderfully decorated with an abundance of colourful flowers and foliage.

Dating to the latter part of the 19th century, the highly decorative pair are of particularly attractive form, with gently rounded bodies moulded throughout with an unusual spiral-fluted design.

Each jar is surmounted by its original domed, similarly fluted cover, finished with a moulded knop handle.

The porcelain has been beautifully decorated in a rich Japanese palette, with sprays of chrysanthemums, maple leaves and assorted flowering foliage, picked out in shades of iron-red, cobalt blue, green, pink, yellow and brown, together with gilt highlights.

Particularly attractive is the way in which the decoration continues around the circumference of both vessels and across their corresponding lids, meaning that they display beautifully from virtually every angle.

Although forming a matching pair, there are subtle differences to the hand-painted decoration of each jar, giving them the individual character one would hope to find in genuine antique Japanese porcelain.

The bodies themselves have a pleasing ivory-white ground, with the moulded spiral ribbing catching the light particularly well and adding considerable texture to the pieces.

Standing approximately 17.2 cm in height including their covers, they are a wonderfully usable decorative size and would look superb displayed together upon a mantelpiece, sideboard, console table or within a collection of Japanese and Asian works of art.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

19th-century Japanese export porcelain refers to fine ceramic vessels produced during the late Edo and Meiji periods specifically for the Western market. These pieces often feature hand-painted polychrome enamels, intricate floral decoration, and gilded accents tailored to European decorative tastes.

These jars were formed using kaolin clay, thrown on a potters wheel, and shaped with fluted or ribbed textures. After an initial high-temperature firing for the glaze, artisans applied detailed overglaze enamel paint and gold leaf accents before subjecting the piece to a secondary lower-temperature kiln firing.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit slight asymmetrical irregularities consistent with handcrafting, fine painterly detail in the overglaze enamels, and subtle wear to the foot rim or gilding. Unglazed base rims often show firing marks or natural discolouration accumulated over time.

A pair of decorative porcelain jars can be styled symmetrically on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or within a bookshelf display. The detailed floral enamels pair effectively with dark wood surfaces, modern brass fixtures, or neutral contemporary backdrop tones.

Clean painted porcelain using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive sponges, or immersion in hot water, as these can strip delicate overglaze enamels and original gilded details.
