A Japanese Dark Brown Vase – Dragons - Meiji Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Stoneware: Pre 1920   item# 1095885 (stock# COLL 1173)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 $595.00  This is a fascinating Japanese pottery vase with a dark brown - almost purple drip glaze. On opposite sides of the vase there are underglaze blue and white dragons drawn with fine details. Then, the potter used superb control by allowing the thick purple/brown overglaze to just reach the dragon designs and only slightly drip small sections onto the dragons underneath. This must have required a masterful control of glazing in the kiln to keep the dragons so visible. ...click for details
