Japanese Arita shallow Bowl, second half C19th
A Japanese Arita porcelain bowl of shallow form with curving sides, decorated to the interior with four panels of two matching stylised landscape scenes (lakeside with mountains, pine tree with phoenix) on an iron red ground with gilt peony and four vignettes of phoenix, the centre with chrysanthemum, prunus and peony within a border of alternating geometric design segments, the exterior and underneath glazed white with three sprays of peony in underglaze blue with red flowers.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 form, though, is slightly unusual. Dating is to the Meiji era (1868-1912) probably around 1880.
