f.,, , i lost all my text , which was an awfull lot , even the satsuma database could,not break the kiln , we do it on characteristics , part by part , no sweat
reverse bottom --- crackle glaze
cikel in the mark with cross in it=Shimazu Mon
The Shimazu mon:
SHIMAZU?? is the name of the clan, family that ruled the
Satsuma province and the family crest, the Mon, is a cross
with a circle. The weapon is almost always, not always, placed
above the whole. Ryozan, for example, places it under the
cartouche. Permisson to use the family crest of the Shimazu
family on pottery, was a form of appreciation and
encouragement that the Daimyo could attribute to the potter
and for pieces that he liked very well. This weapon is then
always painted in (gosu) blue. After the shogunate
disintegrated and, consequently, no relation exist anylonger
between the production of pottery and the daimyo, the
weapon was frequently used as a “trademark”, regardless of
its origin and merely as an indication that it is a “satsumalike” product. A mon that is depicted in black, gold or red
therefore has no relationship with the Shimazu family and
always dates from a period after Edo. Authentic relationship
with the Shimazu clan is always in gosu-blue, not in other
colours, including cobalt blue and it’s always dating before
Meiji-period. However, that does not mean that all gosu blue
mons actually have that authentic relationship, in some cases
they date from the early Meiji period, sometimes even
reverse kiln on bottom , unknown not even to break with 2 databases, probably made a mistake
typE, japanese SATSUMA
substantiation- Gotheborg - com Glossarium, DO THAT !! because there is a picture of RAKANS = ARHATS on it , see the NIMBUS
what are ARHATS + RAKANS= individuals who have fully understood Buddha's teachings and achieved enlightenment.
who is the woman , probably wrong assesment because the head is off
In depictions of Rakan Kannon, Kannon Bodhisattva is often depicted next to Arhats, sitting or standing. This representation symbolizes Kannon's compassion and saving power, working with the Arhats to save sentient beings. Rakan Kannon is especially revered in Zen Buddhism, but also in Japanese Pure Land Buddhism,
THIS IS UNSURE
application, slight MORIAGE=L = raised enamel , see pointtitlism in the dragontail
dating highly likely LATE MEIJJIi Meiji period (1868-1912)otherwise very early TAISHO 1912-1926
condition = good
modus probablity expected value 79 euro
THIS IS NOT THE ASKING PRICE !!!!!!!
assesed because it is for charity , so i broke the rules
the woman could be a megami = female godess
Thank you so much apostata for all the information! I was hoping I'd be able to get some info about the story behind the design, so thank you for everything you wrote! I've popped it on eBay, and I've shot for the stars value-wise as I couldn't find anything like it on eBay at the moment or anything on eBay in the past. Wish me luck, and once again, thank you!
you have to read dharma protectors (rakana)
