A fabulous Toyoraku-yaki pottery bowl covered in colorful lacquer dating from the Mieji period enclosed in an old wooden collectors box. Insed Oribe green flows down from the rim to garden scene of iris and ya-giku (wild chrysanthemum) growing along a rived on the white crackled glaze. Outside geometric patterns in alternating gold green and red supported on three black bamboo shaped feet. It is 13.4 cm (5-1/4 inches) diameter, 10 cm (4 inches) tall and in excellent condition but for a very small chip in hte glaze inside the wall of the bowl (see close-up for details).
The Toyoraku tradition began in the mid 1700s, however it was the fourth generation head of the household (Toyosuke IV 1813~1858) who moved the kiln to Kamimaezu in Nagoya and began applying lacquer and Maki-e to the works. He was succeeded by his son, Toyosuke V (d. 1885) who passed the kiln to his own son Toyosuke VI, (d. 1917), who was highly lauded in his lifetime and made pottery on order of the Meiji emperor, his pieces being selected for international exhibition. The family lineage ended in the Taisho period.
