Imari bottle-shaped vase
Date18th century
Maker
Japanese
Label TextA four-clawed dragon and a phoenix flanking a flaming jewel are enclosed within two quatrefoil medallions on this polychrome vase, as scrolling peonies and inverted lotus blossoms vie for any remaining space. Despite the six-character reign mark of Emperor Wan Li, this vase is almost certainly a Japanese copy of a Ming Chinese model.
