Subject:I would appreciate some help in identifying this urn/vase
Posted By: Jenny Fri, Nov 07, 2014 IP: 213.66.76.157
Hi! I would really appreciate some help in identifying this urn/vase. It is ca 53 cm tall, on its widest area it is ca 28 cm in diameter, the top is ca 22 cm in diameter. The top is made by some kind of metall, i think it might be copper. I think it is hand painted. The bottom is signed.
Thank you for any information,

Best regards
Jenny

Dear Jenny, Your vase is Kutani porcelain from Japan.The top is copper(a repair?).To be prudent I'll say first half of 20th century. Best,Rémy

The kanji is a bit irregular but I believe the mark may read down and across from the right as "Made by Hichozan Kawasaki" (Hichozan Kawasaki Sei - 肥碟山 川崎製). I've not heard of this Hichozan before, though I found some brief mention on a French language website that restricts full details to members. The decoration is similar to that seen on Meiji-period (1868-1912) Arita porcelains, such as those marked Hichozan Fukagawa and Hichozan Shinpo. Kawasaki is a city in the vicinity of Yokohama, quite a distance from Arita.

Best regards,

Bill H.
