Makuzu Kozan, also known as Miyagawa Kozan, was a potter from Kyoto who set up a workshop in the suburbs of Yokohama in 1871 to produce ceramics for export to Europe and North America. His vases with their high relief modelling and use of bright colors and gilding, are classic examples of Japanese export products made to appeal to the Victorian taste.

Literature comparison:
Compare a vase and lid from Makuzu Kozan, dated to 1875-1880, in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, with the accession number 207&LID-1881.
