Antique paired vases in the Imari style. They are made of porcelain and decorated with bronze inserts with gilding. The vases themselves are made in traditional Japanese polychrome Imari painting. Both vases still have their original tops. The side handles are made in the form of the heads of rams or rams, and the gilded bronze legs refer to the European tradition.   Imari is a generalized name for porcelain, which has been produced since 1616 in the Japanese village of Arita for export. The name "imari" was given to the products thanks to the port of Imabari, from which they were shipped to Western Europe. Initially, Japanese craftsmen imitated the Chinese style, but gradually the Japanese style developed, and porcelain products acquired new distinctive features. The craftsmen worked for generations, creating works of art that had a significant impact on such European factories as Meissen, Worcester, Dutch Delft porcelain, etc.
