Japanese Vases

Typical Japanese Vase

  • Amongst other Japanese decor, the vase is the one most found in  households. They vary in shape, size and style. But they all seem to have that one aspect that bounds them to the style of the eighteenth century. Although, the Japanese vase seems to have been an inspiration to the Victorian style of Vases.

  • Most Japanese vases have pictures of birds or landscapes (much like most of their indoor decor) Others have elaborate scenes with people and landscapes. Another common thing that i noticed was that most vases come in sets of two. And although these two vases are of a set, they might not be identical. But still they have the same colour scheme. Soft blues are usually found in vases, as well as browns and light greens.

  • Compared to the Victorian vases, the Asians have a more simpler design to the vase itself, whilst the Victorian vases are more elaborate, with handles and such. Also, Japanese vases are much larger in size compared to the Victorian vases.
