The front scene features a man walking across a vivid red plank above another figure seated below. On the reverse, a single man peers over the back rim, adding a playful narrative detail.

Known for its applied figures, bold color contrasts, and narrative scenes, the style evolved from Kyoto’s Awata ware traditions and became a hallmark of late Meiji to Taisho era Japanese ceramics. This piece, attributed to Inoue Ryosai, is further distinguished by its provenance: formerly in the collection of the Saul Brandman Foundation, Beverly Hills, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2485\" data-end=\"2520\"\u003eDimensions: 8.5 × 7.75 × 2.75 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2187\" data-end=\"2206\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Consignment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50502110445885,"sku":"25C*LS052","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/FullSizeRender_203af4f7-da16-4b2d-9e48-e9239e14ca99.heic?v=1759005455","url":"https:\/\/shogunsgallery.com\/products\/antique-japanese-meiji-era-sumida-gawa-glazed-ceramic-basket-vase-w-figures-inoue-ryosai-c-1900-ls-052","provider":"Shogun's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
