| This is one of the earliest examples of Seikozan that we have seen and also the largest ewer we have seen bearing his signature, measuring 11" x 8.5". The form is most elegant with sculpted tassels forming the handle. The scene depicts mothers teaching their sons calligraphy bordered by geometric reserves and a band of butterflies above. The underside is signed Seikozan with an illegible impressed mark. The oval shape of the impressed mark was often used by Taizan, a historically important studio. This item dates about 1875 - 1885. | ||||||||||||||
