A voluminous vase by important Kyoto artist Miyanaga Tozan with raised floral motif covered in jade green celadon glaze.Exquisitely rendered, it is 30 cm (12 inches) diameter, roughly the same height, and weighs 5 kg (roughly 12 pounds), dating from the first half of the 20th century, in excellent condition.
Miyanaga Tozan I (1868-1941) is one of the most important names in Kyoto ceramics. He was born in Ishikawa prefecture, and graduated from the (now) Tokyo University of Art. While a government employee, he represented Japan at Arts Expositions, and studied art in Europe before returning to Japan in 1902 to devote himself to the production of ceramics, with great emphasis on celadon, one of the most difficult of all ceramic wares. He was direct teacher or mentor to a number of prominent artists including Kitaoji Rosanjin and Arakawa Toyozo.
