A beautifully detailed antique Japanese porcelain vase featuring an elegant hand-painted scene of colourful iris flowers and a flying bird against a soft pastel ground. Richly decorated with delicate gilt accents and geometric ornamentation near the rim and base, this refined decorative vessel reflects the influence of late Meiji to Taisho period Japanese export porcelain.
The vase is executed in a graceful baluster form with dual applied handles and a scalloped rim, enhanced by finely painted botanical motifs in shades of cobalt blue, lavender, pale yellow and soft green.
