Japanese Arita galley pot, Edo Period (1603-1868), c.1660, of bulbous form, the body decorated to one side in enamels with flowering peony heads emerging from rockwork, to the other with iris, all above a band of iron red spearheads, concentric bands of blue to the top and bottom and fern pattern in iron red and gilt to the handle. The term ‘galley pot’ was originally used to refer to the ceramics brought into Europe via the Mediterranean in long, shallow galley ships. In Japanese culture, the peony is a symbol of good fortune and honour.
