Vase with Incised Design and Salamander Handles in Kochi Style 1800 - 1849

This yellow glazed ceramic vase with incised design and salamander handles was created by Japanese artist Eiraku Hozen (1795-1854) in the Kochi style, which is characterized by its bold and vibrant colors and intricate details. The vase's yellow glaze and incised design, which resembles a woven pattern, give it a sense of both elegance and rusticity. The salamander handles, which are painted in shades of red and brown, add a touch of whimsy and symbolism to the piece. The vase is a beautiful example of the Kochi style, which was popular in Japan during the 19th century.
