The surface is richly decorated with a vibrant iron-red (aka-e) glaze, complemented by deep cobalt blue accents, a hallmark of traditional Imari porcelain.

The main design features a phoenix (Hō-ō), symbolizing rebirth, harmony, and prosperity in Japanese culture, surrounded by brightly colored floral motifs that convey vitality and auspicious meaning. The dynamic contrast between the fiery red tones and the deep blue patterns creates a striking and elegant visual balance.

This vase reflects the refined decorative style developed in the Arita region of Japan, historically produced for both domestic use and export. It would have served as a decorative vessel or display piece, suitable for flowers or as a standalone art object.

Due to its age, there may be light signs of wear consistent with vintage Japanese porcelain, which add to its authentic character. A fine collectible for admirers of Imari ware, Japanese ceramics, and traditional Asian decorative arts. See less
