| This splendid vase is an Obata Kakiemon production. Hideyoshi Obata was a businessman who co founded a kiln in Arita with Kakiemon XII, in 1919. The kiln was named Obata Kakiemon and was allowed to use the Kakiemon marking used at the time called “kakufuku”, which is the marking on this vase. The collaboration between Kakiemon XII and Obata was short lived as the artist and the businessman were always fighting about the direction of their venture. After 8 years they went their separate ways, but the kiln continued producing Arita wares, always inspired by the famed Kakiemon palette and motifs, and using the “kakufuku” signature until 1969. The kiln, still operating today, is now called “Nigama” and is managed by Obata’s grand-son. This particular vase, which probably dates from the 1960’s, presents the rich and warm Kakiemon colors and is true to the traditional Kakiemon elegance and refinement. It is in perfect condition and comes with its signed box. Dimensions: 11 cm x 14 cm (4.4 in x 5.6 in), Weight 280 g (9.8 oz) More pictures available on demand. | ||||||||
