A LARGE JAPANESE SATSUMA VASE BY YABU MEIZAN (1853-1934), of Chinese meiping form, decorated predominately on one side in raised moriage work with chrysanthemums on a lightly-crackled ground, the flared neck with a gilt rim, the base with a gilt Yabu Meizan seal mark on a red ground, late Meiji / early Taisho, circa 1910, 9" high. This refined vase is large within the context of Yabu Meizan's output. It belongs to a group of wares made later within the Satsuma master's oeuvre, when the earlier dense palette gave way to a simpler more open style. This shift in decorative scheme was noted at the Japanese Exhibition held at Shepherd's Bush in 1910 and most pieces are dated to around that time. The combination of chrysanthemums on a meiping-form vase appears to be unique for Yabu Meizan but several similar-sized vases are extant with the later more open palette. For example, a slender meiping-type vase dated to around 1910 and decorated with a bird on a cherry branch is held in the Jameel Centre for Islamic and Asian Art at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (EA 1993.12). See also Christies Zurich, 19th Febrary 2007, lot 47 for a similar vase.
