The period of existence was a mere 25 years, from 1896 to 1920. Now, even its existence is becoming a phantom: The "Yellow Porcelain Dragon Pattern Incense Case" made by the Kyoto City Ceramic Testing Center. Comes with the original box, cloth, and a letter of provenance. Made in 1920, the final year. Moreover, it is an incense case fired in the last kiln. Researchers included Kanjiro Kawai and Shoji Hamada. Technician was Shinobu Komori. Apprentices (students) included Yaichi Kusube and Yuzo Kondo, a lineup that was truly representative of the era. It was a ceramic research institution that aimed for the highest standards of the time. Therefore, the works were also presented to the Imperial Household. This work is a yellow porcelain incense case. The base has the "陶" (pottery) circle mark. It is undoubtedly a work from that time. Furthermore, this work comes with a letter stating that this incense case was fired in the last kiln of the testing center and presented as a gift. (See photo) The sender was Kensuke Ando, the Mayor of Kyoto City. It is an incense case with documentary value, with a clear origin and provenance. How about it for practical use or as a collection piece? The box is an old box, but the contents are unused and in beautiful condition, a complete and undamaged piece. Body diameter 7.1 cm x height 3.2 cm.
