Vintage Japanese Lusterware Vase

Lusterware pottery rose to prominence in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, inspired by European iridescent glaze techniques. Japanese artisans quickly made the style their own, producing beautifully hand-painted, vibrant ceramics that were both affordable and highly decorative—particularly aimed at the export market.

This vase features parrot and floral motifs, a signature design choice during the Art Deco period, blending natural imagery with stylized, modern forms. The shimmering luster finish enhances the vivid colors and adds a glowing, reflective quality typical of the style.

Widely produced and collected, Japanese lusterware like this remains a testament to the cross-cultural fusion of aesthetics and craftsmanship during a transformative time in decorative arts.
