Large Historical Presentation Porcelain Vase Meiji
By Hirado
Located in Atlanta, GA
A large stunning Japanese porcelain vase with a historical background. It was a presentation piece from the city of Sasebo (located in Kyushu, Japan) to Samejima Kazunori (1845-1910), an admiral of the early Imperial Japanese Navy, in the February of Meiji 39 year (1906). The vase is of the highest quality and beauty. On the subtly overglazed gold painted background, the upper body of the vase is draped with molded relief of hanging orchids. The realistic rendering of the leaves and blossom is extremely impressive in its naturalistic details, showcasing a superb workmanship. The base is fully marked with the presentation details and dates. A previous drilled hole can be professional restored. A stunning piece with a historical interest. The vase is identified as likely made by Koransha, Scented Orchid Company. It was established in1875 by Ezaiemon Fukagawa (1833-1889), Fukaumi Suminosuke and his brother Takeji, Tsuji Katsuzo and Tezuka Kamenosuke, which produced fine porcelain. In 1879, Fukaumi and other members left the company and Koransha was reestablished by Eizaemon alone. After his death in 1889, his oldest son, Yotaro succeeded the Koransha company while his second son, Fukagawa Chuji started the Fukagawa Porcelain Company. The company is located in Arita which had some historical ties with Hirado kilns. It acquired the assets of the Hirado Mikawachi kilns in the beginning of the 20th century. Some productions naturally merged in the process. The vase was presumably made during that time. Hirado ware...

    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Hirado porcelain or Hirado ware is made in Japan. Most often it’s made in Makawachi so you will hear it referred to as Mikawachi ware at times. A sometsuke underglaze of cobalt and white is most popular as it highlights the fine grain of the porcelain and the complicated details and elaborate openwork.
