Excellent Very Large Japanese Sumida Gawa Vase

This is a huge Sumida Gawa vase from a grand old estate of oriental items. The previous owner had owned it for decades. We have never seen this pattern before, especially with the basket design behind the figures. Probably a one of a kind. It weighs a massive 25 pounds. It stands 18 inches high and is about 14 inches wide. The condition is very good overall and all the paint appears to be original. There are two chips on the bottom rim and a factory repair of a firing crack. Look close at the last two images.
