The striking underglaze blue and white design of this late 19th century Japanese fukizima charger combines both vivid and muted cobalt in misty blossoms and leaves that float within sharply defined stems.

The spirit of old Japan lives on in its wonderful antique utilitarian items such as this ceramic sake keg. From the late Meiji Period, it has an underglaze of vivid cobalt blue. The strong, stylized characters on the front give the trade name of the sake. This jug is identical to one pictured in "Japanese Antiques" by Patricia Salmon, Art International Publishers, Tokyo, page 51.
