This monumental Japanese porcelain charger is painted in blue and white depicting buildings on stilts overlooking mountains, waters, and trees among a beautiful waterfall, situated at the banks of a calm body of water with a boat in the distance.

The scenery is surrounded with scrolls in a band upon which lay leaves and flowers. The uniquely rendered waves add special interest.

The back of the charger has what may be seen as scrolling vine and leaf decoration. We believe that this porcelain is late Edo period though we cannot firmly rule out early Meiji. Circa 1850 is our estimate of age.

The condition of the charger is generally excellent though there may be scattered mossing of light scratches here and there. The charger is wired for hanging though we urge you to verify with a competent hanger the suitability of the wiring.
