Monumental Meiji Blue & White Porcelain Dragon Vase - Japanese Export Ware
Monumental Meiji Blue & White Porcelain Dragon Vase - Japanese Export Ware
Commanding and finely potted, this monumental Meiji-period blue-and-white vase stands 42 centimetres tall with an inverted pear silhouette and a ruffled collar rim typical of export ware made for Western markets. The hand-painted sometsuke decoration wraps a sinuous dragon through cloud-scrolled landscapes, the cobalt drawing confident and precise beneath a high-fired clear glaze. Produced between 1868 and 1912, it speaks to the extraordinary technical skill of Meiji artisans responding to international demand. A centerpiece-quality piece for collectors of Japanese ceramics and export porcelain.
