Captivating Japanese Stoneware Jardiniere by Makuzu Kozan II

Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this most captivating Late Meiji (1868-1912) early Taisho period (1912-1926 ),globular stoneware vessel stemming from the highly regarded Imperial studios of Miyagawa Makuzu Kozan 1840-1916, on this occasion likely to have been potted by Kozan II (1859-1940). The globular vessel has a green glazed interior for use as a flower vessel containing water, the exterior is simply decorated with a pair of Manchurian cranes upon the branch of a large pine tree within a landscape setting, the vibrant enamels heavily potted and fired to a fabulous contrast against the plain stoneware ground, the rim folded and crimped for further effect. The underside of the vase bears the Kozan gourd seal signature , a most appealing example of works from one of the leading Imperial studios of the period.

FAQs

A Japanese stoneware jardiniere is a decorative ceramic vessel crafted to hold potted plants or serve as a standalone display piece. Popularised during the late Edo and Meiji periods, these vessels often incorporate raised relief decoration depicting nature, fauna, and traditional cultural symbolism.

These jardinieres are typically crafted from dense stoneware or porcelain clay, fired at high temperatures for structural durability. Decorative details are applied using vitreous enamels, slip relief moulding, and mineral pigments before a final firing process.

Authentic pieces frequently bear an incised or painted maker mark or seal on the underside of the base. Signature design attributes include hand-modelled high-relief elements, multi-layered enamel glazes, and characteristic naturalistic motifs such as cranes and pine trees.

Position the vessel on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or deep window sill to create a focal point. It can be displayed empty as an art object or paired with architectural indoor plants such as bonsai or ferns.

Dust the exterior gently using a soft, dry microfibre brush or cloth to protect delicate raised enamelling. Avoid immersing the vessel in water or applying abrasive chemical cleaners, which can degrade antique pigments and glazes.
