Description

Vase
Awata district
This Meiji era vase is attributed to the Japanese artist Kinkozan Sobei VI. The artist's mark is impressed on the base of the vessel. Ceramics coming out of the Kinkozan workshop are characterized by a style of overglaze enamel decoration, and on this vase, that method produces a blue lava-like effect flowing from the mouth of the flattened rim. The vessel's body is a dimpled copper brown. Freer bought this namban style vase from Yamanaka and Company in 1901.
