Originally potted as a traditional ovoid ginger jar, this piece lost its lid over the decades but transitions beautifully into a striking standalone floral vase.

The exterior features an all-over Millefleurs-style pattern showcasing a dense canvas of hand-painted yellow and white chrysanthemums—the imperial flower of Japan. Every petal and bloom is highlighted with an intricate, raised gold overlay (gilding) that adds remarkable texture and catches the ambient light. The rim and foot are banded in matching bright gold, anchored by a classic Greek key geometric border around the collar.

Features the classic mid-century red circular backstamp reading: "Trade Mark / Genuine Kutani / Made in Japan". See less
