[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 4414943, member: 16674"]I bought this vase on Ebay because it looked fantastic, and in reality, it is absolutely lovely. I managed to get a bunch of autumnal coloured flowers and it showed it all its glory [unfortunately, I left it too late to photograph as they didn’t last long]. The design is based on a village built in a mountainous area that is in the background, with flowers and an exotic bird in the foreground. The surfaces [inside and outside] appear to have a network of fine crazing. The crazing can be seen on the neck of the first photograph. The features are edged with raised gold. [1] [ATTACH=full]375531[/ATTACH] It measures 22cm height; 14cm bowl diameter; and 10cm top diameter, and weighs 812g. Material: Earthenware. [2] [ATTACH=full]375532[/ATTACH] [3] [ATTACH=full]375533[/ATTACH] [4] [ATTACH=full]375534[/ATTACH] [5] [ATTACH=full]375535[/ATTACH] The ‘Made in Japan’ would imply it was manufactured sometime after 1921 and before 1941; or 1949 to 1951 and perhaps a few years later, before printed Marks were superseded by labels. On the base there is a red Mark under the glaze that I imagine is the manufacturer, and a black painted script on the rim, which I hope is that of the artist, see photo 6. [6] [ATTACH=full]375536[/ATTACH] [7] [ATTACH=full]375537[/ATTACH] [8] [ATTACH=full]375538[/ATTACH] The workmanship appears to be of a good quality. Any information and thoughts will be gratefully received.[/QUOTE]
