Experience the awe-inspiring beauty, marked in Katakana Japanese script ビビ or Bi Bi in English, this Nippon Vase is a true masterpiece of Japanese porcelain art. Adorned with delicate pink Chrysanthemums, meticulously traced with a mesmerizing gold color. Its unique features are a sight to behold.

The vase boasts a captivating contrast of colors, with a rich, dark wine hue at the bottom and top. The top is adorned with an intricate trim, featuring an enchanting alternating pattern of green and blue, embellished with charming gold speckles. Just above this pattern, you'll find unusual gold symbols that add an exotic touch. The rim of the vase showcases a darker gold shade, adorned with more distinctive symbol designs.

Although the handles have experienced some wear over time, with the gold fading slightly, it does not diminish the overall aesthetic appeal. Upon closer inspection, I have noticed a surface-level crack, but rest assured, it does not extend to the inside of the vase. This flaw is not glaringly obvious and does not detract from its beauty.

This remarkable piece of porcelain art is not only visually captivating but also holds great historical significance. It was meticulously hand-painted over a century ago, showcasing the incredible skill and abilities of Japanese artists, a true testament to the value and craftsmanship of Japan.

The Bi Bi marked porcelain has a mysterious history, adding to its allure. While it is known that these pieces originate from Japan, the specific details regarding the company and its production remain uncertain. However, one prevailing belief suggests that "Bi Bi" is a family name associated with a firm that may have outsourced its production to various companies, which were then imported to Lebanon. Many of these exquisite vases were believed to have passed through Lebanon before finding their way into the hands of collectors.

This unique Nippon Vase is not just a beautiful decorative piece, but a masterful work of art and mysterious piece of history. Its unique design, contrasting colors, and detailed hand-painted pink Chrysanthemums make it a true treasure. Displaying this vase in your home would not only elevate the aesthetic appeal of your space but give it a rich artistic Japanese flare.
