| This sweet small kogo (covered box) has an overall design called "cracked ice" and is done in blue on white. That motif was design based on an old Chinese motif called "cracked ice". The theme is meant to symbolize Spring with the design on plum blossoms (prunus) falling on an ice covered pond or lake that is beginning to thaw and crack. The top of the kogo has a finial shaped as a white flower bud just starting to open. The piece measures 3” diameter and is 2 ¼” high. It is in excellent condition except for one ½” long stable hairline on the rim. We date it to the late Meiji period, circa 1885 – 1905. | ||||||||||||
