Title: Kyokuzan Vase
Post by: bokaba on Aug 09, 2016, 10:57:47
Satsuma type vase decorated with birds and flowering vines. It appears to have a Kyokuzan mark. The decoration looks fairly good. I would say around 1920s?

Could you post a close up of the decoration  and one of the foot rim at an angle, thanks.

Thanks Stan. I get most of my pieces from antique stores, thrift stores, flea markets, and online. There are usually good estate sales where I live since there are around 2,000 Victorian Era homes (I live in one) many that have been owned by the same family since the 19th Century and usually have a lot of stuff from the original owners.

Thanks Bokaba, the Chinese antiques have dried up around here, none of the antique stores have anything worth buying anymore, even the estate sales have dried up, it is either new or not that collectable, or they are asking a lot of money, but that is rare and I am not seeing that anymore either, I think Portland Oregon and the surrounding areas have been fished out.
