This is one of the most significant Japanese satsuma pieces ever created. This is a museum piece with fabulous workmanship in combination with a very large size. This bowl truly has a volume 10-20 times bigger than a normal 5 inch Yabu Meizan bowl. It measures 7 inches tall and is 9 ¾ inches wide. It is also heavily made weighing about 4-5 lbs. The bowl features 6 different exquisitely decorated panels in polychrome and gilt. These panels depict people, birds and landscape scenes. The boarders of each panel are done in rich milifleur decorations with large gilt/enameled butterflies surrounding the bowl. The inside of this magnificent piece decorated in trailing wisteria in pink, blue and purple and a scattering of colorful butterflies. Complex geometric and floral patterns on inner/outer rim and foot. Signed on the underside. This bowl was likely an exhibition piece a 100 years ago and it was featured on the cover of Arts of Asia in March-April 1991. Contact for price and shipping.
