Massive Japanese Arita Presentation Porcelain Plate Meiji Period
About the Item
This massive Japanese Arita plate was made in Hizen, circa 1890-1910s, at the end of Meiji period by a potter named Takeshige Yoshisuke who was active in Arita kilns. Some potters are known for making very large porcelain plate, likely most for export to the west. This plate was beautifully decorated by an expertly hand. In most blue underglaze, the design has a western perspective of treating the three dimensional space by creation of depth. Framed by cloud-like shapes with traditional auspicious Japanese symbols and patterns, a mostly opened screen was on display with an embedded landscape painting, in which very light colors were used on the far away peaks in the mist. In front of the screen, an ikebana with plum blossoms on the branches echoes the tree branches in the screen. An opened Go box showing the go pieces suggests a scholarly setting and Ambience. The plate features a border with linked diamond petals in various size. The back with kiku scrolling border and is signed "Great Nipon Hizennokuni Saga Ken Arita made by Takeshige Yoshisuke".
Commanding size and presence. Superb craftsmanship. Will make a stunning center display piece. There are some kiln wears and discoloration on the back. It was drilled historically for wall displaying.

- Japanese Porcelain Vase Makuzu Kozan Meiji PeriodBy Makuzu KozanLocated in Atlanta, GAA striking blue and white vase from the studio of Japanese Potter Makuzu Kozan, also known as Miyagawa Kozan (1842–1916), one of the most established and collected ceramist from Meiji Period. Born as Miyagawa Toranosuke, Kozan established his pottery studio in Yokohama circa 1870s and later became one of the appointed artists to the Japanese Imperial household. His work was exhibited in many international fairs that the Meiji government participated at the turn of the century and won many grand prizes.

As a result, the bamboos appear took on a three-dimensional quality as if appearing in a mist. Known as one of the most creative ceramists, circa 1887, Kozan started experimenting with new chemical colors from the West in the format of his porcelain glaze. New colors allowed him to create underglaze design that appeared bright, smooth and glossy. He even invented his own receipt of cobalt blue to achieve a much brighter yet softer shade, as evident on this vase.
