I am hopeful some one can help me determine this vase
My Mother gave it to me (93) and believes she can remember it being in her family home as a child - possibly 1 of a pair.
She is of the opinion he Mother also had it for many years.
I imagine it is Satsuma - though it is unmarked and has no identification.
The vase has no cracks or chips
The intricacy of the painting is unbelievable and is rich in gold paint and detail.
I have been advised by one expert (?) the figure painted on the vase is that of Emperor Tung - apparently when travelling from China to Japan
The female figure is apparaently his Empress.
The vase is approx 14 inches high
While I have seen many pieces of Satsuma I have never seen one which is so "earthenware" in its pottery - yet so embossed with gold and incredible painting
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
tough call , probably the reason you can,t find , because it aint japanese, i am not an expert in this , but as a layman i think it is France japonisme
as a layman i think it is aEXTREMELY well piece around 1870
maybe a bit later , maybe never , might run this, my brains are toast , insert ( art nouveau, art deco etc
it is not japonica , sorry i can,t trace it
i did trace it a few weeks ago , but lost this entry it is late 19 ct, thiss is good stuff dai nihon kyoto normally not stunning but this is quite well design
