| 14.4" tall x 4" wide. Dating 19th century, made in either Arita / Imari or Kutani. The figure seems to have had some damage to the head, and has retouches on the face and hair. Porcelain figures have been made since the 17c in Japan. This particular piece while having some restorations has exceptionally fine enamelling on the kimono; it is gorgeously designed and enamelled in a rich jewel like palette. It is a very nice piece for an interior and priced reasonably reflecting its condition. Most pieces on the market date from the 20th century and lack the quality detail work of 19th century and earlier pieces; this is a nice example to compare these differences with. | ||
