I am pleased to offer an elegant and refined early 19th century BLUE AND WHITE, "Sometsuke" vase. This magnificent vase features unparalleled workmanship and potted and painted in the manner of fine Chinese porcelain in the Japanese endeavor to capture a share of the profitable Dutch porcelain trade.
Exquisitely crafted porcelain such as this vase featuring superbly painted birds and floral figurals are rarely found except in the best private collections, as was the case with this vase which was brought from Holland to the US by the collectors family.
The vase is in pristine condition, acquired from a California collector who has had the piece in her family in Holland for many generations. This vase is unsigned.
Dimensions: Height 12 1/4"
Condition: Excellent, a cabinet piece. No chips,cracks of hairlines.
Provenance upon Request.
