The name Fukagawa may mean a lot to collectors of Japanese porcelains in this country but in Japan, the name is highly revered. Potters from the Fukagawa Family started work at the Imari kilns in Kyushu Island, Japan in 1650. Fukagawa Chuji was the best known Imari designer. He started his own ceramics company in 1894. The company was awarded the Grand Prize at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, and in 1910 FUKAGAWA-SEIJI was appointed official purveyor to the Japanese Imperial Household. This practice continues today.
This yellow vase is less common than the popular blue and red palette of the Fukugawa wares. The orchids are hand painted and they stand so lovely in the pale canary yellow background. The orchids are delicately painted. The gold rim adds to the sophistication of the vase.The Fuji Mountain is Fukugawa trademark. The four characters under it reads "Decorated porcelain with overglaze enamel decoration."
