Vase with cover, Japanese Imari ceramics, 18th century Edo period, Japan. Decoration: flowers, tree, bamboos, peonies, karashishi. Vessel, height 25.5 cm, diameter 16 cm., A ceramic covered jar with a glossy finish sits against a neutral pale gray background, featuring a domed lid topped by a small white sculpted figure. The jar displays a rich palette of deep blue, red, white, and touches of green, with intricate floral and cloud-like painted patterns wrapping its curved body and lid. The main body has panels of white framed by red outlines containing stylized flower motifs, set against a dominant cobalt blue field filled with swirling red and white floral designs and goldish accents. The lid echoes the same colors and motifs, and the jar rests on a short white foot that casts a soft reflection on the reflective surface beneath.
