About the Item

A Japanese glazed ceramic footed dish made in the Ko-Kutani type of Edo period but likely during Kutani revival in the 19th century Meiji Period. The dish with delicate foliaged rim is raised on a circular foot with cutout design. The piece is decorated with tri-color underglaze paint in yellow, green and purple. In the center, a songbird is depicted perched on the rocks, surrounded with leafed vines with well painted tendrils. The outer surrounding band is divided into eight parts and alternately decorated with green sayagata pattern (linked-swastika) and yellow lined-diamonds with cross in the center. The foot features a piratically interesting cutout leaf design. The underside of the dish is decorated with three scrolling floral motifs and marked with a green Fuku seal in the center within a circular indentation. The origin of the Kutani ware can be traced to early Edo period (mid 17th century). The production thrived for a short period of time from 1655 to early 1700s before it disappeared. It was not until 19th century during Meiji period that Kutani ware was revived by specific kilns, and later transformed into the new more garish styles and widely exported to the west. This dish appears to be a Meiji revival piece to closely mimic the early Ko-Kutani piece for domestic collectors instead of export. For a Ko-Kutani footed dish with a very similar design, see illustration 49-50 on page 51 of "Kutani Ware" by Sansaku Nakagawa (the page is shown in the last picture).

Rare Japanese Ceramic Glazed Bowl Makuzu Kozan Meiji Period

Rare Japanese Ceramic Glazed Bowl Makuzu Kozan Meiji Period

By Makuzu Kozan

Located in Atlanta, GA

On offer is a rare ceramic bowl with overglazed design by the famed Japanese ceramic artist Makuzu Kozan (1842-1916), circa 1906-1916. The bowl is rather unusual from the potter's repertoire with its unique glaze colors and decoration, and it likely belonged to a small series that Kozan made in and after 1906. A bowl of similar glaze and nearly identical dragon motif was recorded as a diplomatic present to the British royalty Arthur Connaught (1883-1932) when he represented King Gorge V in Japan in 1906. Other pieces, such as this bowl, were likely made with similar materials and designs afterwards. Essentially round in form, the bowl has a generous volume with six harmonious lobes. The bottom of the interior showcases a coiled dragon in red, green and gold slithering on a cobalt blue background. The roundel shares an echoing lobed perimeter, which is further outlined by red and turquois bands and rising sun design. The exterior of the bowl features six stylized Japanese camellias...

Japanese Yoshidaya Saiko Kutani Ceramic Dish

Japanese Yoshidaya Saiko Kutani Ceramic Dish

By Yoshidaya

Located in Atlanta, GA

A Japanese Ao-Kutani stoneware dish with overglaze decoration in the shape of barbed quatrefoil shape from late Edo period, circa early mid-19th century. Around 1804, 100 years after Ko-Kutani (old-Kutani) ware disappeared abruptly after thriving from 1655-early 1700s, saiko-kutani (revived-kutani) was attempted by many kilns and several distinguished styles developed. Among them, Yoshidaya kiln attempted to revive the original style of Ko-Kutani known as Aote, which employed four dark colors: green, yellow, dark blue/black and aubergine to create bold and striking design. The Yoshidaya production was short-lived and lasted roughly from 1823-1831. This dish is likely dated from this period or shortly after. The overglaze design centered around a crouching tiger under a black bamboo grove in a deep green background, surrounded by luxuriant banana leaves in green and aubergine with black outlines. The base of a similar concentric barbed quatrefoil design is further decorated with black foliage outlines and marked with a square Fuku mark. For a Yoshidaya dish with identical shape but different landscape decoration, see lot 79 of sale 6547 Christie's London. Important Japanese and Chinese Art...
