Japanese Ceramic Bowl Makuzu Kozan Utusushi Kenzan
Located in Atlanta, GA
A rare ceramic bowl with overglaze paint decoration by Japanese imperial potter Makuzu Kozan ((1842–1916). Unlike the better-known works Kozan made for the expositions in the west and export to the foreign market, this piece exemplifies his work for the domestic market and the tea ceremony. The bowl was made in the so called "Utusushi" Ogata Kenzan (1663-1743), a celebrated Edo painter and ceramicist. Utusushi is loosely translated as "in the spirit of". It is not at all a simple imitation of a master, but a Japanese concept of embracing the spiritual essence of a master while the creator is free to mix in his or her own unique artistic interpretation and flavor. The bowl was made to hold fruits during the tea ceremony. It has a very distinguished form with a circular lower body morphing into a square upper portion that further opening with flared rim. The surface has a grey glaze onto which Asagao flowers (Japanese morning glory) on the vines were painted in a free and poetic style. White was used for the petals, green for the leaves with touches of gold highlight. Asagao, the symbol of the summer was rendered in the spirit of Ogata Kenzan, and interestingly the shape of the blossom echoes the unique form the bowl. It was likely reserved for the tea ceremony during the summer months. Under the base, Kozan was signed in black on a white porcelain plaque inlay. For two similar examples of Kozan's work Utusushi Kenzan, see Page 168-169 of the book: Sekai ni Aisa Reta ya Kimono Miyagawa Kozan Makuzu...

Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
Tea service composed of six cups in fine Indochinese porcelain. The celadon-color cups are adorned with floral and bird’s motifs painted inside white-backgrounded cartouches. The handle and the base of each cup are removable and made of silver-plated metal, drilled and engraved with plant motifs. The octagonal saucers are in silver-plated metal and apertured on the wings. The set is accompanied by six spoons in silvered metal engraved and presented in its original box. Indochinese work realized in the 1920's. Dimensions: H 12 x W 40 x D 28 cm.

In French, the origin of the word comes from Honoré d...
