"Pair Of Monumental Japanese Vases, Meiji Period (47.5 Cm) - Moriage Relief, Museum Quality"
Important Pair of High-Relief Vases, Japan, Meiji Period (late 19th century). Produced in Japan during the Meiji era, this monumental pair of vases represents the pinnacle of artistic export ceramics. These vases are distinguished by their rare form and the exceptional quality of their high-relief modeling. The technical execution demonstrates the highest level of the Moriage technique. The enamel "perlage" work is executed with surgical precision, creating a rich and tactile texture. The scholar figures are sculpted in high relief, creating a sophisticated 3D effect. The artists used a refined and delicate palette: a harmonious combination of light green, dark green, azure blue, and turquoise on a cream background. This is not the garish decoration often seen on common export pieces, but the work of talented and thoughtful masters. Vases of this level of execution and size are increasingly rare on the market. These vases represent a significant tangible asset with strong investment potential, suitable for the most discerning interiors and collections.
