Kyoto Ware Bottle Vase – Blue to Cream Ombré Glaze - Japanese Meiji Period

A striking tall Japanese bottle vase attributed to Kyoto/Kiyomizu ware, dating to the late Meiji to early Taishō period (c. 1890–1920). The form is beautifully proportioned, with a rounded lower body rising into a long, tapering neck and an elegant flared trumpet rim. The glaze is the standout feature. A rich cobalt-to-turquoise blue that gradually transitions into a soft cream at the neck, with fine surface crazing that adds depth and character. A superb decorative piece for a console, mantel or tokonoma inspired display. (Display use recommended due to rim condition) 36.5cm high Unmarked example; attribution and dating are made on the basis of form, glaze and construction.
