This striking pair of tall, square-bodied porcelain vases hails from Jingdezhen, the legendary kiln city of Jiangxi province, China—renowned for centuries of masterful ceramic artistry. Each vase stands an impressive 24 inches tall and features a classic blue-and-white glaze with a stylized wave motif, reminiscent of traditional East Asian maritime maps.
Embedded within the wave pattern are Japanese place names rendered in Chinese characters (Kanji)—including Izumo, Bingo, and Bizen—alongside references to Korean dynastic history. This symbolic cartographic motif evokes themes of regional geography, diplomacy, and cultural exchange, possibly inspired by Edo- or Meiji-era fascination with East Asian connectivity.
• Origin: Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, China
• Dimensions: Approx. 24” H × 8” W × 8” D
• Weight: ~25 lbs each
• Markings: One vase bears a clear Jingdezhen stamp on the base; the other is unmarked.
These vases are ideal for collectors of Chinese porcelain, cartographic art, or East Asian cultural artifacts. Whether displayed in a gallery, study, or curated shop, they offer a compelling blend of aesthetic elegance and historical storytelling.
