Oriental / Asian, PorcelainsA striking 19th century Japanese Imari porcelain vase in the rare and elegant double gourd form, beautifully hand-painted in the traditional Imari palette of cobalt blue, iron red, and gilt on a white ground.
The upper bulb features a central cartouche with a stylized chrysanthemum medallion framed by bold foliate motifs, while the lower section is richly decorated with blossoming cherry trees, birds, and floral landscape scenes — all surrounded by intricate patterning and vertical panels evoking fence and garden imagery. The vase showcases the refined asymmetry and vibrant palette typical of the late Edo to early Meiji period Imari ware.
A decorative and highly collectible piece, this vase exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and detailed artistry of Japanese porcelain during the 19th century.
