A beloved auspicious motif in Japanese decorative arts, the mari form appears frequently in Meiji-era Kyo-yaki and Kutani wares as an expression of playful elegance and good fortune. The five radiating polychrome enamel panels in white, red, yellow, green, and deep blue create a dynamic pinwheel effect when viewed from above, making this piece as visually striking as it is historically resonant. Estimated production period: Meiji to Taisho era, approximately 1890s to 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 16px 0 6px; font-size: 15px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eItem Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 4px 0; padding-left: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-stem flower vase (ichirinzashi) or decorative display object\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iro-e polychrome enamel, Kyo-yaki Ninsei-style or Kutani gosai tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Globular mari ball with small cup-shaped gilt-rimmed aperture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five-color radiating panel enamels (vermillion, yellow, celadon green, indigo, white) with partial gilt gold rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-formed; subtle glaze undulation confirms non-mechanical production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unidentified; consistent with Kyo-yaki or Kutani studio tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e No clearly legible maker's mark identified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please contact us for precise measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 16px 0 6px; font-size: 15px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eCondition is rated Good to Fair.
