Message The decorative style seems to emulate painted Kutani wares associated with famed Japanese artist Aoki Mokubei (1767-1833), but as you note, the bases are simply marked 'Good Fortune'. I know that some Mokubei repros are being painted on blanks and refired in Hong Kong, although I haven't seen any ewers like this specifically attributed to that or any Mainland China sources for that fact. On the other hand, most older Japanese 'tributes' to Mokubei that I've seen do the master honor by putting his mark on the base. With many Chinese-made repros of Japanese wares on the market nowadays, I'd maintain a healthy skepticism in the absence of an attributed match for these. Best regards, Bill H Post a Response |
