Lot 378 Large Chinese porcelain decorative vase in the Imari style, attributed to Y. P. Derevua

Attributed to Y. P. Derevua, this large decorative vase is crafted from glazed white porcelain. The piece features a baluster-shaped body, a tall flared neck, and a wide spreading rim. It is decorated in the Imari style using polychrome overglaze enamels and gilding. The colour palette is dominated by iron-red and cobalt blue, supplemented by shades of green, yellow, and purple. The primary decorative motif consists of large cartouches, each containing a detailed depiction of a long-tailed bird, likely a pheasant, perched among flowering branches. The surrounding areas of the body and neck are densely ornamented with floral sprays, foliate scrolls, and traditional ruyi-head and diaper-patterned borders. This item appears to be a 20th-century production intended for the decorative export market. No maker marks or signatures are visible in the provided photographs.
