A SATSUMA STYLE PARCEL GILT AND ENAMELED EARTHENWARE LIDDED KORO, MEIJI PERIOD, 1868-1912, the domed lid surmounted by a large rooster form finial in naturalistic colors, above pierced sides centering a striding tiger painted in naturalistic colors opposite a long sinuous dragon in shades of black and iron red with fierce expression, amidst atmospheric dot clusters, stylized puffy clouds, and enameled floral sprays, set within a gilt flat rim of basket weave details over a compressed bulbous body and one side depicting an attendant youth wearing a loose dark red robe, behind a bearded man with thinning haired chignon and intent expression, wearing a loosely tied wavey lined robe and leaning towards two gray bearded men facing each other, while seated on watery green bamboo chairs at a table covered in scrolls of various subjects, one wearing a short cap and bronze colored robes with gilt floret mons, opposite the other wearing a bronze/white hexagonal patterened robe and a tall peaked cap while holding an artist's brush, before colorful chrysanthemums and a sacred scholars boulder beneath atmospheric gilt dot clusters and a ceiling of leafy flowering foliage, reversing to a bearded nobleman wearing a cap over elaborately gilt patterened red and bronze robes while seated in a rootwood throne chair before an elderly white bearded attendant holding a green fan, facia bearded seated man wearing wavy lined and crossed hatched robes holding a ruyi scepter before a red lacquer stand with potted flowering plant, in front of a seated bearded man wearing a cap and gilt floret with wavy lined decorated brown robe, while holding a long stemmed lotus leaf and gazing towards a shaggy haired youth in blue trimmed red robe placing long stemmed pink tipped white lotus blooms in a green flower pot, raised on curly haired beastly masks on hairy paw feet. Height: 18 1/2" Width: 15" Depth: 12" Provenance: Art collection of the late Charles and Geri L. Hooks, owners of Houston’s oldest and most prestigious art gallery, Hooks-Epstein Galleries.Good condition with normal gilding wear, gilding touch-ups, crazing throughout, surface buildup, a few tiny nicks, and general wear associated with koro of this age and materials. The colored enamel areas are painted in a watery method and the faces are done in an almost ethereal style of painting. This separates this koro from the average Satsuma export painted wares. Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
