This piece represents Japan’s Victorian-era export porcelain, designed to appeal to Western tastes of the late 19th century with elaborate forms and European-inspired decoration. The underside bears the rare “Dow Sie Cot Ure” export mark — an uncommon Meiji-period stamp associated with Nagoya-area export workshops.

The vase displays beautifully from all angles. The scalloped rim, elegant elongated neck, and sculptural handles give it a strong decorative presence perfect for maximalist, eclectic, chinoiserie, or Hollywood Regency interiors.

A rare and highly decorative antique that adds color, history, and craftsmanship to any space. See less
