A pair of Imari porcelain vases Japan, Edo Period, circa 1700-20
SOLD
The vases are of bottle form with a globular body and long thin neck. They each have three reserves of prunus flowers and rockwork in overglaze red and green enamels within underglaze blue borders with gilt highlights.
Dimensions
22cm high and 19.5cm high
Condition
The two vases have had their necks cut down to different lengths. One vase has a large but fine circular crack to one side and is chipped in two places. Each vase is rubbed and has extensive crazing and light marks and scratches.
Note
It is unusual to find two bottles of the same pattern together. Similar bottles from this period can be seen in Impey, Oliver, Japanese Export Porcelain, 2002, Hotei Publishing, Amsterdam, p.185.
