Japanese Fukagawa Plate decorated with peonies circa 1900
A fine quality Japanese plate decorated in underglaze blue with densely flowering peony and a bird, the detail highlighted in gold with the addition of salmon pink, all on a red enamel ground, the border with a band of ‘ju’i’ form lappets, the reverse glazed and with a four character mark, a representation of Mount Fuji above with the characters ‘Fuka’ ‘Gawa’ ‘Sei’ (Fukagawa made) below.The Fukagawa kilns produced the best quality Imari items made in Japan in the late nineteenth century for export to the West. Their history starts with Ezaiemon Fukagawa who in 1856 became head of his family's porcelain business and in 1875 founded Koransha (The Company of the Scented Orchid) in Arita, Japan, to produce tableware for export. In 1894 the modern Fukagawa company was founded by Chuji Fukagawa, with the Fukagawa trade mark of Mount Fuji and a stream, as its trade mark. Dating here is within the Meiji period (1868 - 1912) probably around 1900. The distinctive palette of colours used here is typical of Fukagawa work and the quality of the decoration a distinctive hallmark of their style.
