Description
A beautiful pair of 19th-century Japanese blue and white porcelain plates from the late Edo period, attributed to the kilns of Arita. Each plate is hand-painted in cobalt underglaze with a lively floral motif, rendered in spontaneous, fluid brushstrokes that reveal the individuality of the artisan's hand.
These plates capture the quiet elegance of everyday porcelain from the Edo era - pieces made for use and enjoyment rather than export display. Subtle variations in tone, line, and form speak to their handmade origin and centuries-old firing process.
A beautifully authentic example of Edo-period Japanese porcelain - expressive, genuine, and full of the charm that only true handcraft can convey.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Good antique condition. One plate has a small nick on the rim and the other has what appear to be a couple of a minor natural glaze skips from the original firing on the rim. Minor wear commensurate with age and use.
