AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1. Introduction and Maker's Prestige
This is an exceptionally striking, tall cylindrical vase from Fukagawa Seiji (深川製磁), one of Japan's most celebrated and prestigious porcelain makers.
Fukagawa Seiji is a certified "Kunaichō Goyōtashi" (宮内庁御用達), a distinguished status signifying its designation as a purveyor to the Japanese Imperial Household Agency. This guarantees its top-tier quality and cultural significance.
The vase comes with its original wooden storage box (Tomobako / 共箱), which confirms the maker and status, and significantly enhances its value.
2. Design, Date, and Mark
Design: The body features a brilliant, deep Lapis Blue (Ruri / 瑠璃) glaze. It is decorated with an abstract, streamlined Bamboo Leaf (Sasa/Take Mon) motif in light blue, accented with delicate gold lines, giving it a modern and elegant Mid-Century feel.
Mark: The base features the clear blue underglaze Mount Fuji mark (山印) and the characters "Fukagawa Sei" (深川製).
Dating (Provenance): The inscription on the inner lid of the Tomobako clearly dates the piece to Shōwa 45 (1970), establishing its vintage authenticity.
3. Dimensions and Condition
Dimensions:
Height: Approx. 31.0 cm (12.2 inches)
Mouth Diameter (Kōkei): Approx. 8.0 cm (3.15 inches)
Condition: The vase is in excellent, near-mint condition. There are no chips, cracks, or repairs. The rich blue glaze and gold accents are vibrant and fully intact, indicating the item has been well-preserved in its original box.
