Featured Japanese Pottery Vase

Hi,
I believe this is a Japanese pottery vase, stands 5"H, unmarked. I know it is a long shot, but maybe someone knows who made this. The clay (to me) is similar to Yixing teapots
Any information appreciated
thanks for looking

 

It's like a cross between Tokoname and Tokanabe, it think Tokoname resembles Yixing more so than Tokanabe.

 

Thank-you anund! I'll have to google those and see what I can find

 

A duck - I instantly love it!!

 

Hope you love cranes as well

 

OHHH.. Brice...you're a nasty piece of work !

A scamming crook made it on the board......he was dealt with swiftly....

My - he seems to have been a prolific poster!

reading just Komokwa's posts, with no context, at 2 a.m. was a bit weird..................but what else should I expect here?????

 

I

think he posted on 4 or 5 threads......& I see where my posts were left up so it looks like I'm bat shit crazy !!!
Well.....I was chasing down all his posts .......so now on several threads I'm the nutcase!!

Yipee......what fun !!
Now I know how to get Mansons attention.....besides a birthday thread !!!
Bawhahaha!!!!!!

 

Sorry to make your day any stranger than it already may be !!!

 

Oh....& a very Good Morning to you too !!!!!

 

Hee hee - I got my "weird" good morning otherwise - I'll post it on the Rants & Raves thread...............

 

Edited
Never mind, I just read the Mask thread.

 

I am SO lost with all this I'm not sure even explaining it would clarify!!!

 

I'm more familiar with Tokanabe as I've some experience with Tokanabe wall pockets. It basically means that the pottery is decorated in some way but left unglazed. It has a rough finish as opposed to the silky smooth finish of most Japanese wall pockets. It's my understanding that not glazing the decoration saved money. Since the decoration is not glazed it comes off fairly easily and many Tokanabe wall pockets have lost some, most, or all of their decoration. Tokanabe wall pockets don't tend to sell too well.
