The Kinkōzan were a famous family of Kyoto Awataguchi potters who made ceramics that were used at Shōren'in, a temple closely tied to the imperial family, and by the shoguns of the Edo government. In fact the shogun is said to have granted them the name Kinkōzan. With the upheavals at the end of the Edo period, however, and the reforms of the subsequent Meiji government, the potters lost their traditional patrons and had to develop new markets. Just at that time, the visit of a certain Westerner is said to have decided them to embark on overseas trade. By 1870, they had perfected Kyō Satsuma...

Pair of 19th Century Qing Dynasty Faux Bamboo Chinese Vases
Located in Ixelles, BE
Faux bamboo Chinese vases were a type of decorative art that emerged during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) in China. These porcelain vases were designed to mimic the appearance of bamboo, a plant highly regarded in Chinese culture for its resilience, elegance, and symbolism. Bamboo is associated with attributes such as flexibility, strength, and modesty, making it a popular motif in Chinese art. In the Qing Dynasty the color yellow held significant symbolism and represented imperial authority, power, and the emperor himself. Yellow was considered the most sacred and prestigious color in Chinese culture, and it had strong associations with the emperor's position as the Son of Heaven and the ruler of all under heaven. The marks at the bottom of the vases indicate that these were crafted more specifically during the Tongzhi period – an emperor who reigned from 1861 to 1875, which effectively lasted nthrough his adolescence and was largly overshadowed by the rule of his mother, Empress Dowager Cixi. Although he had little influence over state affairs, the events of his reign gave rise to what historians call the “Tongzhi Restoration”, an unsuccessful modernization program. The polychrome enamels representing on one vase a traditional Chinese kite...

Large Japanese Imari Gilt Charger, the Six Immortal Poets, Meiji Period, Japan
Located in Austin, TX
A bold and unusual large 18.5" diameter Japanese gilt ground Imari porcelain charger featuring the Rokkasen, the Six Immortal Poets, Meiji Period, circa 1900, Japan. The impressive charger features a striking image of the Six Immortal Poets, known as the Rakkasen, seated in fenced pavilion within a lush garden setting and surrounded by numerous books and scrolls. Gnarled pine trees and and branches laden with plum blossoms tower overhead, while chrysanthemum and massive peonies bloom among rocky outcrops. The scene is unexpectedly and masterfully executed as if on a byobu, a traditional Japanese six panel folding screen. The screen is opened in a dramatic manner, slightly akimbo, almost jumping off the dish, reminiscent of the "screens within screens" genre that developed during the Edo Period. Despite the folds and changes in perspective, the painting remains harmonious and lyrical, with the fully gilt ground adding a sense of warmth and sumptuousness. The screen is bordered with a geometric bands in the shippo pattern. The shippo pattern features interlocking circles, and symbolizes the Seven Treasures. The shippo pattern on a larger scale serves at the background fo the rest of the charger. The backside of the charger decorated with two bands with underglaze blue designs. The reserve decorated with scattered stylized blossoms in iron red and gilt. The Rakkasen, known in English as the Six Immortal Poets, are a group of 9th century Heian Period waka poets whose works were included and praised by name in an anthology of poetry collected by the courtier, poet, and writer, Ki no Tsurayuki. Waka poems are a strict five line...

Antique, New and Vintage Asian Ceramics

With their rich and diverse history, antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics offer colorful and sophisticated ways to add flair to any space.

Japanese pottery dates back at least 13,000 years to the Jōmon period. Pieces from the Late Jōmon era display a rope-cord pattern encircling a pot or jug. During the Muromachi period, potters created simple bowls and utensils frequently used in tea ceremonies and were made as both functional and aesthetic objects.

Ceramics made during Japan’s Meiji period, from 1868 to 1912, reflected an explosion of artistic expression propelled by new access to international trade. Details became more intricate and refined, and colors were enhanced with new glazing practices.

Chinese porcelain, meanwhile, is often identified by its shape. Each reign and dynasty had specific shapes and styles that were encouraged by the imperial ruler. During the Song dynasty, for instance, there were four dominant types of ceramic vase shapes: plum-shaped, pear-shaped, cong-shaped (tall and square) and double-gourd.

Chinese ceramics that were made during the Qing dynasty were demonstrative of an expanded artistic expression, with more delicate shapes and a focus on intricate detailing. The shapes of ceramics from this era are thinner, taller and have subtle features like a gentle flare, such as on the mallet-shaped vase.

Later, the 17th- and 18th-century interior design trend of chinoiserie brought Asian paintings and screens, textiles and other art and furniture from the continent into many European homes.

Explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics on 1stDibs to find the perfect piece for your home.
