| 7.5" tall, 5" diameter. Excellent condition, a tiny shallow chip UNDERNEATH top on inner rim cover, not noticeable or visible with lid on. Signed under lid: Dai Nippon (great Japan), then perhaps "Kaku Ho Ten", which we can only speculate is a kiln name or an artist's working name. We date this to the Meiji Era, the late 19th or even turn of the century, by which time porcelain production was wide spread throughout Japan. This is a truly delightful piece with wonderful colors and detailing. The design features windows of decoration superimposed over a cracked ice and cherry blossom background. The windows of design feature birds, charmingly rendered fish (kingyo) and flowers. Enameling in gold, cinnibar red and aqua is painted over a base of underglaze blue. The painting is stylized in the artist's individual manner that is distinctive to Meiji ceramics. | ||
