Two small vases, one beautiful Japanese duo.

This charming pair of Japanese Imari vases immediately catches the eye with its vibrant combination of cobalt blue, iron red, orange, and bright white. They are hand-decorated all around with flowers, leaves, and elegant traditional motifs. The gently undulating rim and elegant, narrow waist give the vases a beautiful silhouette.

The shape and decoration fit well within the Japanese Arita and Imari porcelain that was exported to Europe around 1900. Based on their style, the vases can probably be dated to around 1890–1910, in the Meiji period. An exact date cannot be determined with certainty without any marks.

It is precisely their size that makes them lovely for a modern interior. Place them together on a sideboard, in an open cabinet, or on a windowsill, or spread them across two places in the house. Even without flowers, they are small decorative objects that add just a little more character.

What is Imari?

Imari is the name that is mainly used in Europe for a characteristic Japanese decorative style that has its origins in the porcelain from the area around Arita. The name refers to the port of Imari, from where much of this porcelain was shipped. The recognizable combination of blue and red on a white background became particularly popular on the European market.

FAQ

The vases are Japanese and made in the traditional Imari decorative tradition. Based on their shape, painting, and execution, they can probably be dated to around 1890–1910.

Are the vases hand-painted?
The decoration shows clear variations in brushwork and was applied by hand. It is precisely those small differences that give each vase its own character.

Can flowers fit in them?
Yes, due to their size, they are suitable for a few small flowers or sprigs. Of course, they are also beautiful as a decorative pair without flowers.
