| 14.6" x 4", 37 cm x 10 cm. A large porcelain celadon tazza, of foliate form, with low relief modeling in a classic design of fish, sea and clouds, impressed with a mark on the base probably "Shimatsuki", the foot rim and fish unglazed. Attributed to the Sanda kiln. Kilns at Sanda, Hyogo Prefecture in Tenugahana, were first opened in the Kansei period (1789-1801) by Sobei Kanda, who invited the ceramic technicians Taichiro and Sadajiro to start in the production of what would become known as Sanda Seiji", or Sanda celadon. Celadons were first successfully produced in the early Bunka period (1804-1818); the peak of production was in the Bunka-Bunsei period (1804-1830), and with the death of Sobei in 1829, kiln production diminished. In the early Meiji era in 1889 the "Sanda Ceramic Company" was established, but was only able to maintain production until 1922, and the kiln closed. Prior to its closing the kiln made tea bowls, koro, flower pots, dishes, bowls and figures. Very good condition, several firing cracks with one extended into the body, some repaired in gold, with the same on the base. Edo to Meiji Eras, 1603-1868, 1868-1912. | ||
