$88 · Large 12" Vintage Japanese Porcelain Vase Brilliant Blue & White Prunus Signed

Here is a lovely, and perfect, piece of fine Japanese porcelain. The striking colour combination is truly eye-catching. Standing just over 12" high, this heavy item is not fragile. The piece is 4" in diameter at the widest point The weight is 1.1 kg. (Over 2 lb.) Prunus is a generic name for many different fruit blossoms - plum, peach, cherry etc. Prunus branches are treasured in any flower arrangement because they signify the coming of Spring, and all associated optimism. In the Ohara school of Ikebana, the shape of this vase would be labelled "Bunjin", an arrangement made to honor ancient Chinese learned men. So, the vase itself tells a story that will enhance any arrangement it contains. But the piece can also stand on its own as a beautiful piece of vintage Japanese porcelain art.
