This monumental flori-form floor vase is a striking example of Imari-style porcelain, combining bold color, intricate decoration, and dramatic scale to create a truly exceptional decorative piece. The vase features a baluster-shaped body that rises to a flared neck, culminating in a rippled, trumpet-style edge, giving it a dynamic and sculptural presence. Each side of the body is richly adorned in the traditional Imari palette of deep cobalt blue and vibrant red, accented with crisp white, and depicts exquisitely detailed Asiatic garden scenes featuring figures in traditional dress. The imagery demonstrates careful hand-painting and meticulous attention to detail, capturing both the elegance of the figures and the intricate beauty of their surroundings.
The vase is in excellent condition, free from cracks, chips, or repairs, with only minor wear consistent with its age and use, preserving the authenticity and character of this early decorative masterpiece. Its large scale—measuring 42 ½ inches in height, 15 ½ inches in diameter at the center of the body, and 10 inches in diameter at the base—ensures that it commands attention in any interior setting, whether displayed on the floor as a statement piece or within a spacious gallery or hall.
This vase exemplifies the artistic sophistication and decorative richness of Imari-style porcelain, blending traditional Asian-inspired motifs with the bold, colorful palette and imposing form that made these pieces highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. Its monumental presence, combined with the exceptional craftsmanship of the hand-painted scenes, makes it both a functional and highly decorative work of art suitable for the most refined interiors.
