This exquisite hand-painted porcelain covered jar is a miniature work of art, rich with color and ornate gilt detail. Crafted in Japan in the early to mid-20th century, the piece features raised moriage enamel work, intricate florals, and panels of elegant geisha figures framed by gold scrollwork.
The sculpted lid is shaped like a leaf and vine—an enchanting detail that gives the jar its pumpkin-like silhouette. The deep navy ground contrasts beautifully with soft pastels and gold accents, while the interior shows the characteristic crackle glaze seen in fine Satsuma and Kutani porcelain.
A blue artist’s or maker’s mark appears on the underside.
