This is an ornate Noritake porcelain twin-handled vase, most likely produced during the Meiji to early Taisho periods (approx. 1891–1921) for the Western export market.

​

​Design and Style: The vase features a hand-painted floral central medallion, accented by heavy gilding and Moriage (raised enamel) work. The combination of the lime-green textured "stippled" background and the Greek key pattern at the neck is characteristic of high-quality Nippon wares.

​Shape: This is a classic Urn shape with stylized gold handles.

​Technique: The intricate gold beading and the cobalt blue borders suggest it was produced by a top-tier kiln, possibly by the Morimura Brothers (who later became Noritake).

​

​Condition: The gilding on the handles appears to be in excellent condition with very little "rubbing" (wear).

​The Bottom Mark: Noritake
