Bazza Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 Peter thanks for the link. It prompted me to remember a question I was going to put to NMB. Even as a sword collector I have long enjoyed Japanese ceramics and casually browsed the Gotheborg website some time ago. However, more recently, knowing of my interest in things Japanese, a good friend asked if I could tell him anything about a huge floor vase he is looking for information on. I have spent a long time going through the Gotheborg website as thoroughly as I could looking for any information on the mark and kiln. So I don't want anyone else duplicating that work unless they enjoy self-flagellation. I also looked through the Gotheburg Red Seals section without any find. I also searched extensively on the internet for an image that might reveal more about the maker. My friend's floor vase is: - about 4 feet in height - it has a mark - it is thought to be Satsuma - it was bought by a deceased gentleman at auction some 30 years ago. The mark looks beautifully fresh and it has occurred to me that it might be a very recent object, perhaps made early-mid 20th century. I have attached some photos for a guide to the vase. With thanks for any insights, BaZZa. aka Barry Thomas. Quote
