Welcome to our store and thank you for your interest in this Asian Antique Japanese Imari Bowl Circa 1840 from the Late Edo to Early Meiji Period Hand Painted Porcelain Dish with a Scalloped Rim. This precious rare beauty has an underglaze of cobalt blue with an over glaze of red with hints of green. If you appreciate hand painted Japanese porcelain from the mid 1800’s or earlier, this will make a delightful addition to your growing collection. You can see the brush strokes and imagine the fluidity of the artist’s spirit and hand, which is very different from the more graphic, tightly rendered interpretations you see on vintage and recently manufactured Imari reproduction pieces today; which are still quite beautiful, only in a different way! Item: Hand Painted Porcelain Bowl. Region & Country of Origin: Arita, Japan. Period: Late Edo to Early Meiji Period. Age: 1840’s or earlier. Approximately 180 years old. Size: 6″ wide across the top rim x 2 5/8″ high x 2 5/8 wide across the base. Depth within the bottom of the foot measures 9/16″ deep (a little better than 1/2″ deep). Shape: Round with scalloped edges around the top rim Weight: 12 ounces Condition: Beautiful for its age. Surface wear commensurate with age and frequent use. No chips or cracks to the porcelain. Wear to the hand painted enamel decorations is evident throughout. Tiny pitting (or pin marks) from time of glazing and firing can be seen upon close scrutiny inside the center area of the bowl and on the underside at the central area within the 9/16 deep bottom rim; which is only bisque fired and unglazed around the very bottom edge of the rim, leaving it with the fine gritty texture of a bisque fired piece. We’ve had this in our private family collection since the 1970’s; acquired then as an antique, at a time when our father brokered steel manufactured by the Japanese. Thank you for your interest. Enjoy & Good Luck! Notes: An especially decorative rare find with terrific age and appeal.
