Collection of East Asian Decorative Arts and Porcelain Ceramics

This diverse collection includes a variety of Chinese and Japanese decorative items, primarily focusing on porcelain and framed art. The centerpieces include a globular 'Millefleur' style jar featuring densely packed pink peonies and lattice patterns, alongside blue and white Transferware pieces like an oval serving platter, salt/pepper shakers, and small dishes. Notable is a blue glazed cylindrical vessel with a high-relief gilded dragon. The backdrop features a four-panel miniature folding screen (Byobu style) depicting mandarin ducks and calla lilies with Chinese calligraphy and seal marks. A framed horizontal painting shows a procession of figures on horseback, mimicking the style of Tang dynasty silk paintings. The ceramics showcase various techniques including underglaze blue, overglaze enamels, and molded stoneware features. Condition varies; most pieces appear intact with expected surface grime from storage, though some stacking wear is visible on the plates. The assembly suggests a mid-20th-century decorative collection, combining mass-produced export wares with more detailed hand-painted elements. The craftsmanship ranges from standard commercial grade to finer artisanal details on the relief dragon vase and the painted screen.
