Product Details

Sculptural and richly glazed, this vintage Japanese pottery vase features a relief guardian-lion (fu dog) mask holding a ring on the front—a motif associated with protection and good fortune. The squared, tapering body rises to a softly flared mouth, all finished in saturated variations of mustard yellow that add beautiful depth and character to this piece. A striking accent for a console or bookshelf, it’s perfect on its own or styled with a single branch or a few stems. Likely mid-century, with form and motif commonly seen on Japanese export pieces. Backstamp / Marks: Signed on the underside, marked "Japan” Condition: Excellent vintage condition Dimensions: Approximately 3.75” Wide x 8.25” High
