This large floor-standing vase dates from the Meiji period in 1880, representing traditional Japanese Imari porcelain work. The piece is formed from white ceramic finished with a glossy glaze and decorated in vibrant polychrome enamels. The trumpet-shaped upper section terminates in a fluted, frilled rim, while the body carries intricate hand-painted figurative panels depicting people in historical dress, alongside trees, buildings, birds, dogs of foo, butterflies, and dense floral motifs in tones of red, blue, green, and orange. Measuring 93 cm high, 39 cm wide, and 39 cm deep, the vessel occupies a substantial scale suited to architectural spaces. In a contemporary home, the vase serves as a statement display object positioned directly on the floor. It fits well within an English Country House interior style, placed in an empty corner of a hallway, landing, or large reception room to draw the eye upwards through its height and colourful surface detail.

FAQs

Imari porcelain originates from the Arita region of Japan and is characterised by its distinct palette of underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze iron red, often complemented with gilded highlights and hand-painted enamel decoration.

Large floor-standing vases were typically hand-thrown on wheels in sections using dense kaolin clay, joined, fired at high temperatures, painted with underglaze cobalt blue, and subsequently decorated with overglaze enamels in lower-temperature secondary firings.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle structural irregularities from hand-throwing, visible brushwork in the enamel application, light wear along the unglazed foot rim, and significant weight corresponding to high-fired kaolin clay bodies.

A tall floor vase functions as a focal architectural accent when placed in an unadorned corner, a spacious entrance foyer, or beside a fireplace hearth to add visual height, colour, and historical texture.

Dust the surface regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or a soft bristle brush, avoid harsh chemical cleansers or total water immersion, and handle the vessel by supporting both the base and main body simultaneously.
