An antique Japanese glazed porcelain vase, Meiji era, 1868 to 1912. A molded and carved hirado blue and white vase with leafy chrysanthemum sprays, the rounded body is hand painted with a cobalt blue landscape scene, the relief leaves are also painted in cobalt blue. Features an everted rim of a leaf design. Unmarked. Note: Hirado ware is a type of Japanese porcelain mostly made at kilns at Mikawachi, Sasebo, Nagasaki, and it is therefore also known as Mikawachi ware. It was made in the former feudal Hirado Domain, which owned the kilns, and was responsible for establishing and directing their production. It is known mainly for its underglaze cobalt blue and white porcelain, with the amount of blue often low, showing off the detailed modeling and the very fine white color of the porcelain. Hirado ware was developed to supply the domestic Japanese market in the 18th century, in the gap between the two main periods of Japanese export porcelain, and produced much of the best Japanese porcelain of the late 18th century and early 19th century. When large-scale exports resumed, it had a good share in the trade. Collectible Oriental Asian Porcelain Ware, Decor.
