These are a high quality pair of very decorative gilded hand enameled Japanese porcelain lidded vases which we date to the Edo period of the 19th century, circa 1830. Each vase has a baluster open necked shape and has been hand painted in an Imari design with varying shades of under-glaze cobalt blue, with over-glaze burnt orange, salmon and grey enamels.

The two scalloped cartouches on each vase with highly decorated and elaborate borders recreate the pine, plum and bamboo motif known as “Sho-Chiku-Bai” or the “Three Friends of Winter.” The impressive pine trees in cobalt blue decorated with gold details dominate the landscape on white background. The two small delicately scalloped cartouches appearing in the middle of the long neck of the vases depict playful rabbits among trees. The late father of the collector of this exquisite pair, who operated one of the leading kilns in the historic Imari-Arita region of Japan, travelled extensively to Europe in the early 1960s with a mission that he led, to purchase and bring back to Japan antique ceramics...
