Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Underglaze cobalt blue with iron-red enamels: traditional Japanese Imari export palette.
Subtle variations between the two vases: hand decoration rather than modern transfer printing.
Rubbed gilding across the raised floral panels: honest wear from handling.

This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This pair of nineteenth-century Japanese Imari vases, dating from around 1880, consists of porcelain vessels decorated with cobalt blue, rust red, and white enamels. The hand-painted surface displays floral reserves, cobalt blue scrolling, iron-red panels, and a geometric foot band. Each vase measures 28 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 13 cm deep, presenting cylindrical bodies with flared rims that taper towards the base. Both pieces remain in good condition without chips, cracks, or restorations. Suitable for an English Country House aesthetic, these decorative items provide traditional accent pieces for display. A practical placement for the pair is on top of a sideboard or console table in a living room, dining room, or hallway. Their balanced proportions and vibrant palette of blue, red, and white tones allow them to integrate easily into existing interior schemes as decorative focal points.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export ceramics produced in the Arita area and shipped via the port of Imari, characterised by underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze iron-red decoration.

These vessels were crafted from kaolin ceramic clay, fired at high temperatures to create hard-paste porcelain, painted with cobalt blue underglaze, re-fired, and decorated with iron-red overglaze enamel.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-painted variations in glaze execution, subtle spur marks or firing imperfections along the unglazed foot rim, and light surface wear consistent with age.

Position a pair of Imari vases on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to introduce contrast, warm colour tones, and visual interest to classic or contemporary schemes.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners or immersion in water, and protect the surface from direct impact or exposure to extreme thermal shifts.
