A Japanese Flambe Awaji Pottery Vase

Creator: Awaji Pottery (Attributed)
Offered by: Tishu

Description
A garlic bottle vase in an archaic Chinese form, but Japanese in origin, likely from Awaji or Kyoto kilns. Several circumventing grooves however, suggest a more modern age. It was done in a brilliant purple glaze over a robin egg blue background glaze. The bubbling and bursting effects during the firing renders the surface an artistic spotting effect. The color pallet recalls the classic Jun Yao in China yet the glaze effect appears more related to JianYao. Upon closer inspection, the glaze was likely applied in a dipping method, as the slight dripping can be seem on the top half of the vase. Not signed and we think it was likely made at the end of 19th century.
