Edo period

D8cm H18cm

 

A beautifully decorated square porcelain vase from the Ko-Imari tradition, adorned with vibrant overglaze enamels in red, blue, and gold. Two of the four sides are intricately decorated with chrysanthemums, while the remaining sides feature the "Three Friends of Winter" (pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms).

 

This piece showcases the refined and vibrant aesthetic of the Genroku period (early 18th century), widely regarded as the golden age of Imari porcelain. The masterful use of gold and colorful glazes creates a glamorous yet dignified presence, characteristic of the artistry from the Emperor Higashiyama era.

 

This piece is not only functional as a flower vase but also serves as an elegant decorative object that enhances any sophisticated space. It is in excellent condition with no scratches or repairs, representing the timeless charm and historical value of antique Japanese porcelain.
