The Meiji period (1895–1910) often features intricate gold gilding and is valued by collectors of Japanese porcelain.

This pitcher vase combines hand-painted roses in deep orange, violet, and yellow that bloom across a delicately beaded gold and magenta ground. Each brushstroke and raised enamel bead was applied by hand over a century ago with lavish 24K gilt scrollwork. The moriage work make this vase/pitcher exceptional.

The 9-inch form makes this a true showpiece — perfect as a statement vase, in a collector’s display, or centerpiece for the most romantic vintage interior. A rare survivor of Japan’s Meiji-to-Taishō export era, this piece radiates both luxury and history.
