Note du spécialiste

Miura Chikusen I, born in Kyoto, first apprenticed under Takahashi Dohachi, third generation (1811-1879) and later studied painting under Tanomura Chokunyu (1814-1907). After becoming independent in 1883, he actively set out to invent a new expression for porcelain and succeeded in applying a Western colour palette and later inlaying glass and agate as seen in this lot.
