Against a luminous white ground, colorful chrysanthemum blossoms appear among olive-green foliage and fine gilt stems, while two graceful birds in flight add movement to the composition. Rich iron-red scalloped borders accent the shoulder and removable lid, finished with a coordinating red knob.

The decoration reflects the Japanese bird-and-flower tradition, celebrating the beauty of the natural world through carefully arranged blossoms, foliage, and birds. Its asymmetrical composition allows the white porcelain to become part of the design, balancing richly decorated areas with quieter open spaces. The palette and gilt accents are reminiscent of Kutani-style export porcelain, although the specific workshop remains unidentified.

Measures approximately 6.25 inches high × 4.75 inches wide × 4.75 inches deep, including the removable lid. Likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, the jar bears a red-painted character mark on its base. Good antique condition with no chips or damage. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Beautiful displayed on an antique side table, mantel, or cabinet, this small covered jar offers a delightful accent for an English country interior or a collection of Asian ceramics. Its vivid reds, delicate birds, and floral details give it considerable decorative presence within a compact size. See less
