One fine Kinkozan Vase, impressed mark

This very elegant japanese Satsuma Vase was by made by one of leading manufactures of the Meiji Period, around 1910.

The Vase is signed with the impressed mark "Kinkozan" .

Size approx: 12 inches (or 30 cm)

It realy is an outstanding vase, as well in composition as in execution. One side shows trailing wisteria and waterbirds, peking ducks I believe, the other side shows japanese quail ( also known as Coturnix japonica, stubble quail or eastern quail - correct me if I am wrong here) in their natural habitat.

The vase is finely painted by hand over the glaze in cobalt, gold, silver and multi colored enamels.

The cobalt blue sections are evenly covered with a nearly abstract feather design in gold and silver.

CONDITION: EXCELLENT!

no chips, no cracks, no repairs, no wear to the gilding, only tiny, tiny dots of the silver color have turned black.

This vase is a must for any devoted Satsuma collector!
