Description :

A finely crafted example of early 20th‑century Japanese export porcelain, this hand‑painted Nippon vase features an elegant floral design with soft rose and foliage detailing. The form is complemented by ornate handles and gold-accented trim at the rim and base, showcasing the refined aesthetic typical of Nippon-era artistry.

The underside bears the “Hand Painted” and “Nippon” marks, dating the piece to approximately 1891–1921. During this period, Japanese manufacturers produced high‑quality porcelain for Western markets, often blending Japanese craftsmanship with European‑influenced decorative styles. Many Nippon pieces were created by workshops associated with makers such as Noritake and the Morimura Brothers, known for their detailed hand‑painting, raised enamels, and gilt embellishment.

Historical Notes:

  • The “Nippon” mark was used to comply with U.S. import regulations requiring English‑language country-of-origin labels.

  • Hand‑painted Nippon porcelain is valued for its craftsmanship, painterly detail, and decorative versatility.

  • Floral motifs with gilt accents were among the most popular export styles of the era.

Condition:

  • Light scuffs to the painted surface consistent with age and handling

  • No cracks, breaks, or structural issues observed

  • Overall well-preserved for its age with strong display appeal

Highlights:

  • Authentic hand‑painted Nippon porcelain

  • Ornate gold-accented handles and rim

  • Delicate floral artwork with roses and foliage

  • Marked “Hand Painted” / “Nippon” on base
