Antique Japanese Ryukyu Yaki Dragon Vase

Early 20th century Kaki otoshi and carved pottery vase with a dragon soaring through clouds, reaching for the elusive pearl of Buddhist wisdom, signed on the base with a kiln mark from the southern Island Kingdom of Ryukyu (Okinawa). It is 8-1/2 inches (22 cm) tall, 8 inches (20 cm) diameter and in fine condition. This is from a collection of scholar items we are currently offering from the estate of a Kyoto family involved in literati and art movements from the later Edo period on.
