Japanese Arita shallow Bowl circa 1880

A Japanese Arita porcelain bowl of shallow form with straight sides turning in towards the foot, decorated in polychrome enamels with a central scene of two panels, one square with a fabric derived ‘brocade’ design and one rectangular with a landscape scene including waves, mountains, the setting moon and cranes, both with tassels underneath, the outside edge with stylised floral panels, lotus and chrysanthemum, and the base with a band of repeating geometric design in underglaze blue.

The town of Arita in the former Hizen Province, northwestern Kyūshū island, was a major centre for the production of porcelains in Japan. Best known for blue and white pieces it also produced polychrome wares as well, including the familiar Imari colourings. While similar to Imari, the wider palette of colours used here is usually termed ‘Arita’ and this bowl employs not only the colourings but also many of the decorative elements found in these wares. The angular form, though, is unusual. Dating is to the Meiji era (1868-1912) probably around 1880.
