Antique Imari-pattern lidded temple jar, likely Meiji period. Fine porcelain decorated in traditional Imari palette — deep underglaze blue with vibrant overglaze iron-red and gilding — featuring classic floral and foliate panels around the body and lid.
Condition: Good overall for age. The gilt finial knob shows wear consistent with use and age. Two faint firing cracks on either side of the lid, believed to be manufacturing faults rather than post-production damage; they do not appear to penetrate the body or compromise stability. No major chips or restoration noted. Please review images carefully if condition is critical.
Dimensions: approximately 9.5 inches high by 5 inches widest.
A handsome example suitable for display in a collection of Japanese ceramics or as an elegant focal piece in interior decoration.
