This is a beautiful vase done by Kobayashi Sobei (Kinkozan 1868-1927). Approximate date Maybe late Meiji period.
In 1645 a pottery was founded by the Kobayashi family near Kyoto and a century latter he turned the oficial potter of the Tokugawa Shogun and was given the now famous name Kinkozan. The head of the fifth generation introduced in the Satsuma style but his son Kobayashi Sobei took it to the highest level. Approximate date late Meiji. After he came back from the Paris Expo in 1900 he started with Art Nouveau motifs.
well this is an easy call ( this is 4 figures) nowadays , because this is the ABSOLUTE pinacle of kinkozan, single diaper layer ( see underlayer) and the kobarutoburu is out
actually i would not flip at Sotheby were IMO it makes the cut easy , s but i would flip at Dubai
