Good condition ceramic vase Hand painted
2 feet high
Hello, this item is a tall hand-painted Japanese ceramic vase, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century (Meiji to early Taishō period). The body is adorned with stylized floral motifs in green, pink, and ochre glazes, applied with a raised slip-trailing technique. The form and proportions, along with the large size (approximately 24 inches / 61 cm high), suggest it may have been intended for export or ceremonial use. The presence of applied side handles and the uneven glaze transitions near the rim and foot are consistent with Japanese folk kiln production, rather than refined Imari or Kutani ware.
While marketed as 19th-century, the overall decorative language leans toward transitional work influenced by early 20th-century Art Nouveau preferences, particularly in export markets. If confirmed as a Meiji-era Mingei-style piece, value would reflect its scale, condition, and decorative appeal. Assuming no cracks or restorations, its current market value would fall between $250 and $400 USD.
