Subject:Strange, yet awesome pot?
Posted By: Sherlock Mon, Oct 13, 2014 IP: 65.207.30.3
Found this guy at an estate sale. I find it fairly unusual and difficult to understand. I have tried to pen the small mark on the rim as I had a hard time photographing it.
Can anyone offer up some information, ie. age, artist, period?
An Anglo approaching an Asian girl???
Any information will help and be very appreciated.

looks like a nice Japanese vase to me, a 20th century variant of Satsuma ware? To attract attention from someone who knows Japanese art perhaps repost with subject something like: "Please help identify nicely drawn Japanese vase" Not sure of the reading of your character offhand. Try posting an image of it taken in shadow in order to get a better sense of the impression's contours.

Hi Sherlock,

I don't know how accurate your writing is but with a bit of fantasy it could be "Taizan".

Regards,

Arjan

Yes, this appears to be a very nice Satsuma piece. I would guess the base color is more cream, than white. If it is indeed white then it could be a Style of Kutani from the Taisho period.

Hi -

The artist's mark is probably 帯山 or "Taizan". You can check the history of the maker by visiting the Gotheborg website and then looking therough the Satsuma marks (hopefully the link is below).

Good luck.
