Subject:Help ID'ing hand thrown Japanese? Porcelain vase
Posted By: Bill Fri, Mar 29, 2024 IP: 104.56.193.45
Hi, I'm looking for help in identifying the age, origin of the vase shown in the attached images. It is hand thrown and just under 14" tall. The only thing I could find hacking around was a mid century (20th) Japanese Arita vase? What would the form / shape be called? Also a translation of the characters near the rim would be great. Thanks. Bill B

I've added two more images. Also I have one more question. My images in the original post appear to be squashed top to bottom. The vase is almost 15" tall by 5" wide. any recommendation to help in getting them to display correctly would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bill

I'm still trying to figure why my images are appearing squashed top to bottom. For what it's worth they always look correct when I preview, but squashed in the actual post. The images included in this update were taken in landscape rather than portrait mode to see if that helps.

This vase is reminiscent of gourd-shaped vases and sake bottles. I can't read the kanji but I agree on your 20th century dating. I regret currently not being able to be of greater help.

With kind regards

Madria

Mr Nagy saves us once again from rash conjecture. Thank you very much for the rectification!

Hi I.Nagy,
Thanks for the reply. Guess I was completely wrong. Not Japanese, and not 20th century. Oh well it's nicely made and I like it. I do appreciate the information.
Regards,
Bill
