Vase
Not on view
The Kyoto ware vase here is embellished with birds and willow trees by a river. After Okuda Eisen successfully produced porcelain ware for the first time in Kyoto, in the latter half of the eighteenth century, the technique was passed on to the Gojōzaka kilns, where output gradually increased. Eventually, Kyoto-based potters provided guidance to other kilns such as those making Kutani ware. The Japanese-style silverwares designed by Moore and his team often display asymmetrical compositions and geometric borders similar to those on Kyoto ware.
