A fine gem of a meiping form vase by Ito Tozan. Decoration of paulownia mon in white moriage, red and gold enamel amongst presumably young, leafy paulownia growth in moriage gosu blue. The decoration with tasteful balance - some places sparse and other places active - winding from the foot to the rim. The almost imperceptibly finely crackled Satsuma glaze smooth to the touch and with a pleasant, warm appearance. A pleasing hoist relative to the vase's mass. Two character signature in black enamel inside the foot. Excellent condition. Height, 6 inches (15.24cm)
