Produced during the prominent era of Japanese porcelain export between 1891 and 1921, this piece reflects the high level of skill found in regional home workshops and factories decorating for Western tastes. The raised white borders outlining the petals utilize the historic moriage technique, where liquid clay is piped delicately onto the ceramic surface prior to firing to give the illustration a distinct tactile depth. This graceful floral container makes a wonderful addition to an antique bookcase, a collection of fine Asian export porcelain, or a classic vanity display.
