Shōwa-period Edo Kiriko Vase, Japan

A blue glass vase in the style of Japan's Shōwa period, made mainly of deep blue glass, rich and steady in colour, with the retro character typical of Shōwa everyday objects. The body shows finely cut kiriko patterns, with floral and leaf motifs and curved compositions on the outer layer; the design is evenly distributed, retaining the crisp geometry of kiriko glass while bringing in the soft feel of traditional Japanese floral patterns, giving richer visual depth. In form it has a steady “narrow top, wide bottom” proportion; the wider base provides a good centre of gravity, making it more stable for flower arranging, and the slightly narrowed mouth naturally gathers the lines of the flowers, well suited to a single stem, slender branches and leaves, or a small bouquet. Under light the blue glass shows shifts between deep and pale tones and reflective highlights; whether in an entrance, at a tea setting, on a desk or in a display cabinet, it becomes a striking accent in a Japanese-style space. Suited to collectors who love the Shōwa style, glass craft and Japanese vintage objects, it also makes an excellent decorative piece for the home.

Meiji-period Imari Ware Iro-e and Gilt Square Lidded Jar, Japan

This Meiji-period-style Imari ware square lidded jar in iro-e with gold enamel is commonly called a “general jar” by collectors because of its tall form, lid, full body and frequent use for display. The piece is built on a square form (standing on a square base of 15×15 cm); the body swells outward for solid proportions, topped by a stepped shoulder line and a knobbed lid, giving an upright, dignified silhouette that “anchors” a room. The decoration combines Imari's classic sometsuke blue (blue ground), iro-e (red, green and other colours) and gold enamel; the motifs include flowers (chrysanthemum-type) and arrangements of flowering plants, branches and leaves, with panelled brocade grounds and decorative bands. Dense in detail and rewarding both from afar and close up, it is a centrepiece antique that catches the eye at a glance, whether in a home entrance, in a living-room display cabinet or as a focal point at a shop entrance.

Ko-Imari Vase, Japan

This is an ornate large vase typical of the “Ko-Imari style.” The design is laid out in multiple panelled compositions (polygonal frames / tortoiseshell divisions), combined with gold enamel (kinrande / kinrande style) and rich, vivid Japanese overglaze painting, presenting the “festive, sumptuous, display-worthy” quality most representative of Imari-type works. The body shows several groups of motifs: floral patterns (large flowers and layered leaves in full colour); auspicious birds / phoenix designs (bird forms and auspicious imagery visible in some panels); karakusa scrolls / geometric brocade grounds (all-over background patterns adding density of detail); and gilt frame divisions (each panel outlined in gold, making the whole as sumptuous as brocade). The base bears the signature “Maiemon saku” (made by Maiemon), and it comes with an inscribed wooden box (tomobako), enhancing its completeness as a collector's piece and its standing for display; large boxed pieces like this are especially compelling as a focal point at home, in a shop display or in a clubhouse reception.

Large Hand-Painted Vase with Auspicious Birds and Peonies, Japan

An imposing large hand-painted Japanese vase, about 60.5 cm tall — close to knee height — it creates a strong focal point whether set on the floor or on a low cabinet. The body flares gently outward from a slightly narrow neck and then draws in again at the foot; the proportions are tall and slender, the effect steady and elegant. The whole vase is grounded in rich golden yellow, and on close inspection a fine, continuous pattern lies beneath, like a layer of small cloud scrolls or karakusa arabesques, so the large expanse of gold still has depth. Over this, auspicious birds and peonies are painted by hand. Though the colors are saturated, a balance is struck between gold, ink black and green, producing a rich beauty with an Oriental flavor — well suited to serve as the centerpiece of a room.

Japanese-Style Bamboo-Basket-Form Flower Vase

This Japanese-style vase imitates traditional bamboo basket weaving in metal wire. Its outline is round and swelling like a gourd: the lines narrow upward from the base, flare out again and finally tighten at the mouth, enclosing a curved space full of tension. The whole vase is gilded and gives off a warm gold-bronze sheen in the light, crisp as metal yet slightly antique in feel. The fine wires are set one by one with gaps between them, so the vase itself reads like an open sculpture; light passes through the gaps and casts soft linear shadows on the table, giving it a strong presence even on its own without flowers.

Art Glass Vase, Japan

An art glass vase made in a Japanese workshop. The body is lemon yellow with a fine frosted matte texture, supported at the base by three curled cobalt-blue feet that form a light yet stable three-point structure. The flared mouth and full belly, with strongly contrasting blocks of color, give it a bold modern design sense and decorative impact. The feet not only add interest to the form but also spread the weight effectively, keeping the vase stable. The classic high-contrast yellow-and-blue palette is eye-catching whether displayed alone or with plants / other objects.

Hand-Painted Ceramic Vase with Yellow Flowers on Red Ground, Zuikō Mark, Japan

A Japanese ceramic work bearing the “瑞香” (Zuikō) mark. On a bold red-glaze ground are finely hand-painted yellow flowers; the typical form, with a flared mouth and a round belly, has a rich classical Oriental splendor. The yellow flowers and leaves are rendered with fine brushwork showing curling leaves, slender branches and layered petals, in a style close to the “painted kinran ceramics” popular from the Meiji to the mid-Shōwa period. The base is inscribed with the two characters “瑞香” (Zuikō), one of the marks commonly used by Shōwa-period mingei-style workshops or craftsmen; although precise dating is difficult, the style and clay body suggest it was made in the mid-to-late Shōwa period.

Openwork Sometsuke Ceramic Flower Vase (Hanaike), Japan

An openwork flower vessel — a highly demanding technique in Japanese ceramic craft — made of fine interwoven lines that create an elegant, see-through three-dimensional structure. The body is a straight cylinder, the upper and lower rims decorated with blue-and-white geometric patterns in the sometsuke technique; the lines are sharp and the designs clear, with a stable glaze color and good luster. The base is signed with the two characters “景年” (Keinen) in graceful calligraphy, in the manner of a craft potter's signature, distinctive and redolent of its period, adding to its collecting value. (With original wooden box · Keinen mark)

The work of the well-known Japanese potter Tetsuzan, it carries on the traditional aesthetics and delicate brushwork of Japanese ceramics, with fluent painting and soft yet layered colours. It is especially well suited to home display, a tea room setting or a collection.
