| A massive pale celadon in archaic Chinese form by Meiji-Taisho period artist Daimaru Hokuho (Hoppo) enclosed in the original signed wooden box including the original rosewood base in a separate compartment. Revolving about the middle from the Elephant handles is a line of incised geometrics. Otherwise the vase is simply shaded pale yellow-green without, white within and is signed on the base; crisp with clean sharp lines typifying the Meiji ideal of superlative quality. It is 14-1/2 inches (36.5 cm) tall, 9-1/2 inches (23.5 cm) diameter and in perfect condition. Hokuho would have been rated in the top 10 porcelain artist of Kyoto, along with Suwa Sozan, Ito Suiko, Ito Tozan, Miyanaga Tozan, Takahashi Dohachi, Seifu Yohei, Kiyomizu Rokubei, Miura Chikusen and Kiyomizu Zoroku, all artists active from the Meiji through the early Showa eras. He is best remembered for his Chinese forms and Sencha thin tea ware. | |||||||||||
