Vase with cover, Japanese, Edo period 18th century, Imari porcelain vessel decorated with flowers, tree, bamboos, peonies, and karashishi; height 25.5 cm, diameter 16 cm., A ceramic lidded jar with a glossy finish sits against a plain gray background, topped by a white sculpted finial shaped like a seated animal. The body and lid of the jar display an ornate painted pattern featuring a dominant deep blue background with areas of white that serve as panels for floral and botanical motifs in shades of red and orange, with small touches of green. The decorative design includes stylized flowers and leaves outlined in darker tones, curved wave-like blue borders, and rounded medallion shapes. The jar has a flared rim beneath the lid and a rounded shoulder tapering to a slightly raised white base, and the surface shows subtle reflections from the lighting.
