Pattern & Style

Japanese porcelain made in the Imari style, specifically “Arita ware” (有田焼, Aritayaki).

This is identified by:

• The deep cobalt blue underglaze and iron-red or gold enamel accents.

• The sectioned decorative panels showing floral and geometric motifs.

• The crackled glaze (crazing), which is typical of 20th-century Arita export porcelain meant to imitate older 18th-century wares.


⚙️ Construction Details

• The lamp body in your photo is a converted Imari vase—a very common repurpose for export in the 1950s–1970s.

• The matching ginger jar with gilt lid is likely part of the same set.

• The craquelure is decorative, not age damage—it was deliberately done to give an antique look.


🔍 The Mark (not able to see on lamp, but on matching ginger jars)


The blue square seal mark on the bottom (from your third image) appears to be the Fuku (福) or “Happiness” mark or a generic Arita kiln mark written in a stylized seal script.

Marks like this were commonly used during the mid- to late-20th century (post-WWII, around the 1950s–1970s) by several Arita producers making export ceramics for Europe and the U.S.
