This bulbous cylindrical vase has modelled turquoise, and treacle elephant handles applied on either side of the top rim.

the body of the vase has two central circular-shaped panels with a scrolled motif around them depicting a bird on a cherry blossom branch looking at the butterfly together with another scene on the left corner with two men wearing traditional japanese clothes, with a depiction of mt. Fuji surrounded by trees on the right. Another panel also features a bird on the cherry blossom branch looking left.

the neck and foot of the vase are also richly decorated in treacle and turquoise glaze. The exterior of the vase is decorated in turquoise and dark blue colour.
period: late 19th century.

measurements: 16 ¾in. (42.5cm), without the stand approx. 37 cm, circumference in the widest point: approx 70 cm.

condition: the vase is in excellent condition considering its age. The base has a centrally drilled hole which we assume was made for lamp conversion.
