Exceptionally Painted Noritake Vase - Signed

Collectibles : China, Porcelain

 

Some hand painting is nice and some is pretty, but in my opinion this is a spectacular artist. The landscape is balanced and varied all around this vase with mountains and hills filled with pine trees and fall colors on the birch trees in the foregound. A lake or river flows along the way too and a blue sky and clouds blend this beautiful scene. It is signed. J. Seho (with a line over the e) or it could be J. Siho. The "J" might be an "I" too.

The mark dates between 1967- 90. It reads Noritake Bone China and below the mark Nippon Toki Kaisha.

The painting is all under glaze, no chips or cracks. There are some water marks inside that I have not tried to remove. 8 1/2" tall, lip opening is 2 1/4", 3 3/4" wide.
