This large Japanese porcelain vase reflects the refined artistry of the Meiji Period (1868–1912), a time when master potters blended traditional Japanese aesthetics with emerging international influence. Executed in the Makuzu Kozan style, the vase features elegant white slip inlay decoration, creating softly raised motifs that contrast beautifully against the rich glazed surface.
The balanced form, flowing proportions, and intricate surface work exemplify the technical sophistication and artistic ambition of late 19th-century Japanese ceramics. A striking decorative object with strong historical presence, this vase works equally well as a statement floor piece or a refined interior accent.
