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.

Fine Japanese Ceramic Plate by Kinkozan for Yamanaka & Co.
By Kinkozan
Located in Atlanta, GA
A fine Japanese ceramic satsuma plate made by Kinkozan and retailed by Yamanaka & Co. circa 1900-20s (late Meiji to early Tasho Period). The cream-color glazed plate features a very fine decoration of a maple tree in the midst of foliage color-changing in autumn. The poetic composition is stylized but also realistic, with a literati painter's quality, and was advantageously enhanced by the enamel colorings in incredible details. The maple tree is one of the favored motifs by the fine satsuma potters such as Yabu Meizan as it demonstrates the painter's skill. It is signed on the base in gilt kanji seal (Made by Kinkozan) and branded Yamanaka & Co in English. The plate was likely commissioned by the company from Kinkozan for its various galleries in US and Europe. The Kinkozan family established their pottery business first in 1645 and by the end of 19th century, it had become the largest studio producer of Satsuma ware. By the 1850s, Kinkozan Sobei...
