This baluster form vase is quite large by Japanese standards at 14 inches (35 cm) tall and in perfect condition. Chrysanthemums decorate the sides in rich, dark blue. There is a slight yellow tinge to the white glaze. It is signed on the base Makuzu Kozan Sei. The name Kozan was granted by Prince Yasui-no-Miya in 1851 in honor of the tea ware produced during the later Edo for the imperial Court by the tenth generation head of the Kyoto pottery family Miyagawa Chozo.

A beautifully cast bronze oil lantern with square cage and unusual sliding door. It rises from the trumpeting base to flare under the cage, which is a separate piece. The top rushes upward to the sharp finial, overall a very elegant silhouette. The piece is roughly 16 inches (40 cm) tall and in perfect condition but for a ding in the top, as is visible in the last photo, and testament to its age, a small repair to what was likely a casting flaw is barely visible as a hammered in square of bro ...click for details
