Japanese Arita blue and white stencil decorated Bowl, early C20th
A Japanese bowl the sides curving inwards to the short foot and the rim faintly lobed, decorated in underglaze blue with boys playing in a stylised garden scene below a floral border, the centre interior with a medallion of a ‘ho ho’ bird and leaves. The work here could be termed ‘naif’ and this is due in part to the techniques of decoration which seems to employ stencilled designs rather than hand painted decoration. This can be seen most clearly in image (5). Many pieces in this style, both bowls and plaques, were exported to the West in the early twentieth century and were presumably cheap to purchase on their arrival. Most likely they were made at one of the kilns in the Arita district, the home of many workshops producing wares for export. This is not the grandest of the Japanese pieces made for the West but has a simple charm which can be enjoyed today, as when it was made, at an affordable price!| Size: | Diam 21.5cm, Ht 8.5cm, Base 8.3cm |
