[QUOTE="Barry Stephen, post: 4489121, member: 70690"]Hi all, hoping to hear your views on this vase. Picked it up and surprised to see "made in Japan" what with the heavy dark glaze. Looking closer you can see the asian motifs/ handles etc. It has a mark which seems familiar but I can't recall. So my questions are ; Is this a usual Japanese style or is it trying to be some kind of majolica ware? Post WW1/pre WW2 or 1950's perhaps? What is the secondary blue glaze /paint? not another hobbyist surely? Or was it a result of a firing experiment? The red coloured base seems distinctive? The base clay appears light coloured inside , that which isn't stained black. Approx 20cm high by 13cm at widest.[ATTACH=full]391036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391037[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391038[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391040[/ATTACH] What plant is represented by the centre motif? appreciate your thoughts as always ,as I am drawing a blank on google with my limited vocabulary of keywords to describe this one...[/QUOTE]
