This impressive large porcelain vase features vibrant overglaze enamel painting in traditional aka-e (red painted enamel decoration) and gosu (cobalt blue). The imagery includes a phoenix and floral motifs, symbolizing auspicious power, vitality, and natural beauty. A fine example of how Japanese decorative porcelain in the modern world of ceramics have incorporated Chinese Ming dynasty influences, as well as absorbed the effects of Chinese export porcelain, this work showcases both technical skill and dynamic design.
