A finely decorated antique Japanese Imari porcelain square bottle vase, beautifully hand-painted in the traditional Imari palette of iron red, underglaze cobalt blue and gilt on a white porcelain ground.
Each of the four panels is richly adorned with floral sprays and stylised foliage, framed by blue line borders, while the shoulder and neck feature complementary decorative bands. The elegant square form and restrained proportions make this a particularly attractive example of Japanese export porcelain.
Ideal as a display piece on its own or as part of a collection of Japanese ceramics, this vase embodies the timeless appeal of traditional Imari ware.
