pkversion — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 08:22:37 +0000

George Jones Majolica large ‘Rose Basket’ 9.5-in wide in cobalt blue, circa 1872. Impressed British Registry mark stamp to reverse for 17 February 1872.

Cobalt blue is generally the most prized of all the Majolica glazes because of its decorative force.

Thomas Ritchie Alkaline Glazed Stoneware Pitcher Catawba Valley c 1870

pkversion — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 02:33:54 +0000

Thomas Ritchie is one of the better documented Catawba Valley NC potters who worked in the mid 19th century up until (it is estimated) about 1900. A number of his jugs, crocks and canning jars survive with various markings that include TR and this particular 1 gallon capacity stamp and typical scribed horizontal lines. (Hence the attribution to TR). What is especially interesting about this one is that it is a pitcher and and although a milk pitcher is a quintessential folk pottery form, a Thomas Ritchie example is almost unobtainable on the market. Further, this may very well be one his earliest. Either Lincoln County pre-1860… or right after he moved a little North further up into the Catawba Valley, the evidence for an early date is clear. The clay and inclusions were not as fully worked out in this example, as can be seen by the warts, bubbles and inclusions. It did not take long for TR to refine his clay, glaze and kiln processes to avoid such irregularities. Most importantly they add warmth, charm and character… and are a reminder that it’s fortunate this one survived the kiln and an ensuing century and a half of use. There are nicks and chips around the rim, but nothing that compromises the presentation. I am estimating a date in the 1870’s to be conservative, but a date in the 1850’s can be equally well argued. It is unclear to me, despite decades of collecting that we can definitively tell the clay from the 1850’s from that of the 1870’s or that the capacity mark was in use that early.

Rare Pair of Early Period Makuzu Kozan Takauki High-Relief Vases

pkversion — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 19:44:37 +0000

A stunning pair of ceramic vases with gilt, paint and high-relief decoration by imperial artist Makuzu Kozan (1842-1916, also known as Miyagawa Kozan) circa 1876-81 (late Meiji period). These vases belong to early period (1876-1881) of Kozan’s repertoire, during which time the high relief sculpturing (known as Takauki ware) was used as a distinguished technique on top of the traditional gilt and paint ornaments of satsuma ware. Due to the relatively limited production and the fragile nature of these wares, not a large quantity of the examples remained in the first place, not mentioning a fine matching signed pair in such impressive sizes.
Not only a rarity, this pair of vases is also superb in workmanship, thus the fine example of the work from that short and unique period of the artist’s career before he switched to the underglaze period. In a conceptually mirrored fashion, the surface is richly decorated with flying cranes among large lotus leaves and flower, like an idyllic aqua scenery of pure poetry on a circular scroll. The high-relief appliques were rendered and composed in realistic fashion but with a dramatic touch. They are literally about to break the surface free, alive and in motion. The dark colors of the glaze were used to set a moody tone. The approach to create this type of ornamentations is more akin to sculpturing an ink painting in three-dimension than ceramic making. It is not hard to imagine the demand of both the artistry and the technique.
Both vases were signed as “Makuzu Kozan Kiln” and each further with another name and seal, which are most likely the individual artist involved in the making process. Similar signatures can be seen in the reference book below.
For similarly Takauki vases, see Miyagawa Kozan Makuzu Ware (Japanese Edition) page 30-73.
