Large Jar with lid
Description
Bulbous porcelain jar; lid mounted on top with Lion; the design of a four-clawed dragon has been well illustrated on the body where the black colour on the white surface has been arranged to give an impression of rolling waves. The rim has a mosaic pattern with conventional floral design; at the base a band of gadroons contains floral and semi-circular rolling wave-like designs.
The inscription reads thus: Made by Yeizayeman Fukagawa ar Arita.
