A pottery chawan...

A pottery chawan (teabowl), of straight-sided winter type, decorated to the exterior with a flecked, mottled dark brown glaze on its ridged surface, and the interior with a random band of ink-detailed, cream glazed plum blossoms on a caramel glaze ground.

The signature, Kozan, in ink on a white cartouche to the exterior, pays stylistic homage to that of Ogata Kenzan; and the original signed and sealed wood box entitles the teabowl "Flying Plum, after Kenzan".

Miyagawa Kozan - Circa 1880.
Height: 3 3/4 inches, 9.5 cm.
