Subject:I'm trying to find the name of the maker of this vase??
Posted By: bryan vaughan Sat, Sep 02, 2017 IP: 24.17.28.231

Hello, I have this (I think) Japanese ceramic vase I'm trying to find who made it or at least what the marking reads on the bottom? Any help would be much appreciated??
Thank in advance for your time and expertise,
Bryan

The signature reads 'Kanzan' (寛山) and I presume that the artist is the important and innovative master potter Shinkai Kanzan (新開寛山 - Kyoto, 1912-?). I'm not a specialist, but this could be a early Showa (pre-War) piece decorated with a seemingly Art Deco inspired pattern.

Guy.
