A magnificent pair of oval-shaped two-handled vases with an elongated neck and flared mouth, crafted from the finest Japanese porcelain. The vases are embellished with two hand-painted oval reserves on both the front and back. The four paintings, each unique, depict evocative views of a lake landscape with lush vegetation, evoking the pictorial style of the French Barbizon School of the late 19th century. Both vases are signed under the base in green by the famous Japanese manufacturer "Noritake" and date to the early 20th century. The pair is richly decorated in pure gold relief, with numerous elegant ruby ​​red and cobalt blue enamel beads. This refined workmanship is performed using the Moriage technique, a traditional Japanese decorative method used primarily on ceramics and porcelain (such as Satsuma porcelain or Dragonware). It involves manually applying layers of glaze or clay to create raised designs, giving the object a distinctive and prestigious three-dimensional effect.
