A charming baluster form vase decorated with a ring of drying fish by Katsuo Seiryudo (1907-1984) in the original signed wooden box. The hirame (flat fish) are unglazed except for an iron like underglaze used to draw the details, and shiny black dots for eyes. The contrast between the unglazed fish and white ceramic is unexpected and pleasing, in that ordinarily it would be opposite. The vase measures roughly 8-1/2 inches (21.5 cm) in diameter and height, and bears the artists cartouche-like ...click for details

A truly fantastic early 20th century Kashiwan sweets dish signed inside a cartouche in the foot-ring Rakkan-Do (also Rakukan-Do) enclosed in a quality period kiri-wood box. Three saintly figures chat gregariously within the bowl, ten lines of fine calligraphy above. Outside a dog lying under a tree looks into the gate of a house, eight lines of fine calligraphy beside him balanced by 11 lines of large characters surrounding the bowl. Truly a fun piece; one not to be seen but to be experienced ...click for details

A set of four unusual small dishes enclosed in the original signed wooden box by Kitaoji Rosanjin (1883-1959), one of Japans most famous 20th century artists. Iron reds underlie the pale earthen glaze, with a dollop of Oribe green on one side. Almost as if planned, the pieces have firing cracks filled with black lacquer, adding a fourth consideration to the standard essentials: form, design and glazing. Each dish is roughly 5-1/2 inches (14 cm) diameter. As mentioned there are firing flaws a ...click for details

A wonderful square white glazed Art-Deco influenced pottery vase by Suzuki Kiyoshi dating circa 1940 enclosed in the original signed wooden box. A spray of flowers in iron brown alternates with repeated gourds over the crackled cream colored glaze. The vase is roughly 6 inches (15 cm) on all sides, and is certainly larger in presence than it sounds with thick heavy walls. It is similar in patterning to a piece submitted by the artist to the Nitten National Exhibition in 1942, and we believe i ...click for details

Last in our series of pieces by Kato Shunto (b. 1916) is a lovely large Tsubo vase stamped on the base and enclosed in the original signed wooden box. It is covered in crackled pale glaze and decorated with blue bands and lappets fading into the cream colored surface; a lovely effect and a precursor to features of his recent Nitten submissions. The tsubo is quite heavy, with a sharp out-turned mouth contrasting and balancing the heavy ovoid form of the body. It is 9 inches (23 cm) tall and li ...click for details
