Japanese Imari Temple

35 cm (W) x 85 cm (H)
 
The Japanese Imari Temple Jar is an exquisite three-piece porcelain set, featuring a removable lid and base for versatile display. Adorned with traditional Imari palette hues of cobalt blue, coral red, gold, and green, it showcases hand-painted landscape and floral scenes that celebrate abundance, protection, and artistic harmony.
 
Crowning the jar is a finely sculpted Foo Dog (Shishi) — a guardian symbol believed to ward off negative energy and invite prosperity. The detailed lotus and peony motifs along the body and stand represent beauty, rebirth, and noble strength.
