Japanese Lidded Jar with Geisha Motif

This elegant 15-inch lidded porcelain jar features traditional Japanese imagery, including a delicately painted geisha holding a parasol, surrounded by blooming peonies and chrysanthemums in warm shades of coral, indigo, and green. The domed lid is crowned with a floral finial and bordered with a dense botanical pattern on deep navy blue. Measuring approximately 32 inches in circumference, this hand-decorated piece likely dates from the late Showa era (1970s–1980s) and was produced for decorative export. A striking blend of femininity, craftsmanship, and cultural symbolism—ideal for collectors of Asian ceramics.Color Palette: Indigo, coral, peach, sage green, ivory
