Did You Know?

This dish has a complex landscape with a river or lakefront residential compound set among pine and willow trees and approached by a plank bridge over the water.

Description

Seifū Yohei II excelled as a painter, as evidenced by his floral and landscape designs. His works were selected as the best among Kyoto ceramics shown to jurists from Europe and the US, thus paving the way for international recognition of the studio in the late 1800s.
A white porcelain vessel with blue landscape detailing features a shallow, rounded body sitting atop a short, circular foot. On the exterior, a cluster of small buildings with sloped roofs stands among textured trees and rolling hills. To the left, a tree with drooping branches overlooks water receding into the distance. Thin blue bands encircle the base. The detailed scene flows continuously around the exterior, contrasting with the smooth white interior.
