Vintage Lusterware Mini Vases Set of 5 – Dragon Moriage & Gilded Japan Style Urns

This is a beautiful mixed set of five vintage mini vases, showcasing two distinct styles of early 20thcentury Japaneseinspired ceramic artistry. Included are three delicate pearlized lusterware vases with moriagestyle raised dragon designs and two striking redgold urnstyle vases with ornate gilding.

Each piece features intricate handpainted details and gilded accents on handles and rims. The lusterware vases exhibit the classic moriage technique, where tiny beads of clay are applied to create a raised, textured dragon motif. The red urns are adorned with fine gilt patterns over a burnt orange glaze, likely inspired by Japanese Satsuma or Kutani designs.

History of Moriage & Japanese Lusterware:

Moriage refers to a Japanese decorative technique where clay or slip is applied to create raised designs—commonly dragons, flowers, or waves—on porcelain or pottery. This technique was often combined with luster glazes and gold detailing to enhance the ornate aesthetic. Popular from the late 1800s through mid20th century, moriage pieces became widely exported and collected. Though many such pieces were made in Japan, similar styles were also produced in Czechoslovakia and occupied territories in the early 1900s. The redandgold vases reflect a popular adaptation of Satsumastyle urns used for decorative display.
