This is a really nice Kutani vase with a dragon. Lots of gilding and it is in good shape. The background behind the dragon looks like grisaille, but i'm not that familiar w/ that. One very odd thing about this vase - it's filled w/ cement? to make it very heavy?
Thanks to Sandra Andacht, i know that this piece is by Watano, late 19th, early 20th c.

Beautiful!
kutani , mark is upside down, and made by Watano, late 19th/early 20th c.
Thank you very much Sandra. Mystery solved! any idea why someone would fill it w/ cement?
i got an layman question , imo opinion this is the motamachi part , so probably yokohama outsourced this but to whom.
Watayasu ?? Sei , so the question is can we differentiate yokoyame style 1885 up
correction Yokohama,
Watano Yasutaro ?? ???. This merchant opened a shop in Yokohama in 1885. The mark reads Watano and there was more than 1, and Yasutaro Watano was not the only Kutani merchant/produced who moved to Yokohama.
The mark on the piece under discussion does not read Watano Yasutaro. Just reads Watano.
I tried to post the kanji but it comes up as ???
ty we agree thanks
Posting about the tile/tray has taken up too much and I am behind in workload. I do not think I will find time on a daily basis to post here.
once again, my thanks to Sandra and apostata!
