@short-dong Hello,
Thanks for the replies. Any value?
Hi Woz,
value is in the eye of the beholder. Kutani unfortunatley does not get very high prices, Kutani by famous artists and Kutani is that is high quality and with an interesting providence will sell at high value. Kutani is very much under appreciated and is overshadowed by Satsuma and tends to sell much lower than its value. The only real advantage is to buy low and try make a small profit and try get very rare and high quality peices at a good price, as these should one day reach their true value.
Your vase is 12 inches which is good for size, and it is decent quality but right now in the market it would not command a high price. It is also quite a generic piece in some respect.
You can find some very stunning quality Kutani for a couple hundred dollars. With Kutani unless it really stands out then its not really a good investment. I personally like kutani and if i see a very good quality piece at a good price then i would be tempted, but there is not a strong market for Kutani at all.
If you threw that on ebay you would not get a good price. However it is 12 inches and your best to sell as buy it now price as it does have a value and it is a genuine Kutani so a collector might be interested.

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.
