Decoration modeled on Chinese Southern School painting, related to Japanese bunjinga/nanga; free-form painting and finely executed lines indicate a highly skilled porcelain decorator. Underglaze cobalt signature on the base: Zoshuntei Sampo zo made by Zoshuntei Sampo. Subjects/iconography: pines, mountains, waterfalls, sages; classification: storage pot, kachôga iconography., A porcelain jar with a lid featuring blue painted landscape-like brushwork on a white background, showing soft gradations of blue in organic shapes and brushstrokes, with a decorative band of geometric blue lines near the base and a patterned blue band around the neck, the lid topped with similar blue motifs; the jar sits on a reflective gray surface and the background is a smooth gray.
