Dear forum members
I would like to consult with you about this old looking vase, Japanese? Top looks to be broken. Any idea what king of vase this is? Â
Also another incomplete piece, looks to be the top part of usubata vase but made of porcelain, I've never seen such before.
And an arita charger early 19th C? Â
Thank you.
adding more photos of the vase, hope it can be identified. Â
😀 The plate bowl; is it a barbers bleed bowl. Looks like an arita -japanese
Do you mean this piece? Â
I think it's a top part of usubata vase, thought I never saw one made of porcelain. Interestingly the maker of it is a Seto kiln most famous for producing large porcelain items and most interestingly porcelain toilets.

I am indeed thank you Ming. 🙂Â
Chinese Porcelain Bowl Made during the Daoguang Period circa 1820
Â
The bowl is further adorned on the rim with pink enamels showing cherry blossoms, and floral cartouches ( the pink enamels are slightly faded). The bowl has an unusual shape with a cut out in the rim. It was originally used as a barber's bowl.

I see, a very interesting item, I never suspected there were bowls specifically produced for this purpose.
I think my bowl isn't the case, I think it just got deformed during the firing process as it kind of bent at the spot and there is a spot where it leaned against something that caused the deformation, Do you thing it's a flaw or a feature for this plate?
Â
Also regarding the vase, I've asked Peter to help me with it, turns out to be late Ming piece with severe damage but my first Ming piece nevertheless.
Thank you.
I also think this is just a deformation. I believe the Japanese admire imperfections and therefore, it might well be considered a feature. Of course, that might give rise to the question as to whether some deformations might have been deliberate - but no, that would lessen the appeal as they would not be imperfections which one assumes have to be random and uncontrolled. Sorry, thinking out loud!
Lovely news about the vase, well done!
Thank you Julia
Going through lots of Japanese ceramics I have also wondered about similar idea, a society so much regulated by tradition, rules and patterns expresses so much appreciation for creativity and innovation in art. Many items produced by hand are intentionally asymmetrical which gives them a unique character, or kintsugi for example. In art Japanese surely not shy of stepping over the boundaries. Very fascinating feild.Â
Best regards
SpartakosÂ
Hi Spartakos -
Looking at the additional image, I would think this is a natural flaw that probably occurred sometime during the firing process ...
The Japanese aesthetic embraced such features, so the piece was not discarded but, as Julia mentions, admired for such flaws ...
The late Ming 'ko-sometsuke' wares produced for the Japanese market were deliberately made with rough edges, glaze pulls/pits and flakes to embrace this 'aesthetic taste' ...

Thank you for very interesting information, unfortunately I have little chance to handle Chinese antiques and my progress in that area is slow on the other hand it has so much in common with Japanese so I learn something comparing and researching.

That is interesting but it is Japanese isn't it. Does he mean it is from that era?
What/who are you referring to, SD? Sorry, coffee hasn't quite reached the brain cells, yet. 😊Â

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
