Product description
Vase Type: Japanese Porcelain Vase, Baluster Shape (Oval/Model with Wide Belly and Narrow Neck) with a Ribbed/Paneled Wall.
Style: Kutani-Ware (九谷焼) – Featuring characteristics of the Aka-E (Red Painting) and Kinrande (Gold Decoration) traditions. The combination of rich iron red, gold, green, and blue enamel, the vertical panels, and the alternation between dark (black/gold) and light (cream white) sections is typical of this famous Japanese porcelain tradition.
Period: Edo Period (1603–1868) – Most likely 18th to 19th Century (Middle to Late Edo). This style, with paneled surfaces, floral medallions, and intense overglaze colors, flourished during this period. Distinguished Features: The neck with an iron-red band and white floral motifs, the alternating dark panels with golden flowers and light-colored panels with exuberant floral sprays (Peony, Chrysanthemum), and the delicate cartouches are all classic elements of high-quality Japanese export porcelain from that era.
