About the Item
A large Japanese ceramic vase from the end of Meiji period circa 1890-1910s by Kinkozan (1645-1927). One of the largest studio manufacturers of the export ceramics at the time based in Kyoto. In the typical style of satsuma made at the turn of 20th century, the baluster-form vase is elaborately decorated in polychrome glaze. The beautiful imagery showcases a large flock of geese under a full autumn moon among the reeds and grasses. The seasonal motif with these migratory birds is one of the most enduring subjects in Japanese art that evokes an introspective mood that comes with the change of the seasons. The composition benefits from the circular surface, as when one turns the vase, the image starts to show different perspective and much motion. The realistic but stylized depiction of the birds, as well as the use of Fuki-e (the blow painting) technique that creates a gradient effect, render the piece a poetic quality, calling to mind the woodblock prints of the same subject made by Ohara Koson (1877-1945).
Two gilt bands on the neck and base showcases fine scrolling vine design. On the neck, an array of floral mons line on the black background. The flared mouth rim was further decorated in black vines. On the body toward the base, the vase is signed "Made by Kinkozan, Great Nippon".

By Kinkozan
Located in Atlanta, GA
A large Japanese ceramic vase from the end of Meiji period circa 1890-1910s by Kinkozan (1645-1927). One of the largest studio manufacturers of the export ceramics at the time based in Kyoto. In the typical style of satsuma made at the turn of 20th century, the vase is elaborately decorated with a rather unusual kinran-de (gold paint) and green enamel highlight on a mottled brown background. The painterly decoration depicts a large seasonal floral arrangement in a circular fashion. Besides the obviously superb craftsmanship, what sets this particular vase apart from many lower quality and mass-produced pieces is its tone-on-tone color pallet that is visually somber and the small and sensitive details that heralds the change of the seasons. When the viewer goes beyond the first casual glimpse of the blossom and foliage, one would notice that on the edges of certain leaves as well as along the stalks, there accumulates a very thin layer of the white dust that represents the frost. The flower in bloom are chrysanthemums. Despite of being splendid, they are the messengers of the autumn. The large lotus leaf was subtly rendered in a bended and slightly withered manner, just past its prime. Although the lotus is still in bloom, the prominent seed pod indicates it may be the last for the season. The sentimental capture of the change of the seasons is not unusual in Japanese art. This vase poetically represents such a subtle transition from summer to fall, perhaps depicting the very first frost.
The neck of the vase is also slightly unusual with two rolled rings...
