Beautiful Imari bowl from the Edo era (around 1800).
Decorated in vibrant colours (overglaze enamel), depicting a scholar riding a flying crane in stylized clouds. The side of the bowl has six reserves, three of which are showing dragons, the other three, phoenixes. The outside is decorated with flowers, leaves and a brush. The bottom is unmarked and has an unglazed ring between the central circle and the footrim. This decoration is extremely rare and very sought after. A similar, somewhat larger bowl (25 cm) is currently selling for about 3000 US$ in Japan (picture available on request). Diameter 21 cm, height 9 cm; perfect state. |
