Height 10 inches (25.40 cm)
A pair of late 19th century Imari porcelain vases, the bodies articulated by panels of floral motifs and still life panels in blue red and gilt glazes.
These vases were produced shortly after the re-opening of the Japanese ports to export trade in the mid-19th century. These vases take their decoration directly from early 18th century designs and the colour palette employed is very similar to examples made in the 1700s.
