A rare and charming antique Japanese porcelain tea jar, hand-painted in rich iron-red and gold enamels. This rectangular jar features detailed scenes of women in a traditional Japanese garden setting, delicately rendered with birds, foliage, and gold accents.
Made during the late Meiji period (circa 1880–1920), this piece reflects the aesthetic of Kutani-style decoration, with its intricate red linework and delicate hand-enameling. The jar is complete with its original lid, which is also hand-decorated with a scenic motif.
A beautiful addition to any Asian art collection, or a unique accent for a tea-lover’s cabinet.
