"Antique Japanese Porcelain Imari Umbrella Stand"
An ideal decoration for a stylish hallway, this Japanese Imari porcelain umbrella stand dates from the end of the 19th century. Known for its colourful decorative style, Imari porcelain features vivid hand-painted designs in bright shades of cobalt blue, red, gold and black and this unfussy but elegant cylindrical vase is a prime example. Also typical of the style is its busy motif of wise elders deep in conversation in a landscape, surrounded by radiant cherry blossoms and peonies, bamboo stems and pendulous willow boughs. Please note that this vase has suffered historical breakage, which has been previously repaired.
