Subject:Unknown Artist Signature
Posted By: TheHippy Tue, Aug 16, 2016 IP: 97.44.128.69

I was hoping that somebody could tell me a little bit about this piece of porcelain. As best I can tell, it is an orphaned saucer. Many thanks...

The signature has been translated to "Taka Yama Ga" or Drawn by "High Mountain." Any opinions on style would be appreciated,

Many Thanks

The info at the Japanese-language link below seems to indicate this mark belongs to Yokohama Nikko-made porcelain either painted by someone with the surname Takayama (高山画 - Takayama ga), or possibly painted at the famous mountain scenic place called Takayama in Gifu Prefecture. Perhaps a Japanese speaker in our midst knows the difference.

Best regards,

Bill H.

IMO, this is a Kutani piece with a typical 'kachoga' (birds & flowers) decoration signed 髙山画 ((Kôzan ga' or 'painted by Kôzan'), Meiji period.

Would this be Makuzu/Miyagawa Kozan or someone else with the same surname characters?

Thanks,
