Posted By: Robert Tue, Aug 17, 2021 Could it have been painted by Suizan? A similar Koshida/Suizan moon flask sold awhile ago at Skinner's Auction in Massachusetts. |

Posted By: Robert Mon, Aug 16, 2021 I'm not an expert but I think that your moon flask is one of the best Satsuma (or more likely Kyoto Satsuma) pieces that I have ever seen. All the painting appears to be freehand; for example, the 'circle and dot' border, which in later pieces, even ones from famous makers, would have been done using stencils. I would guess that it was made in the late 19th century or Meiji era. Earlier pieces tend to have a narrower range of enamel colors, gold that is more raised than flat, and they lack the atmospheric (almost airbrushed) effect. |
