About the Item

A milky white dish with slight scalloped rim and decorated with cobalt blue iron red and green enamel over glaze, this delicate piece in Kakiemon Style was dated at least to the early 18th century if not earlier, likely made for export market to the west. The top surface of the plate features a sparse and a slightly asymmetrical arrangement of wheat sheaf bundles and prunus branches. The base was marked with six Chinese character "Qi Yu Bao Ding Zhi Zhen", a mark that was used in the non-royal kilns during the reign of Kang Xi in Qing Dynasty (1661 to 1722). This mark was used both during and after the reign in China and sometimes in Japan, thus not an indication of date or origin. Provenance: Former collection the Mobile Museum of Art, Mobile, AL, acquired in 1977 purportedly. , Background: From the mid-17th century, Kakiemon wares were produced at the factories of Arita, Saga Prefecture, Japan with much in common with the Chinese "Famille Verte" style. The superb quality of its enamel decoration was highly prized in the West and widely imitated by the major European porcelain manufacturers. Similar designs can be found on copied on pieces produced by Meissen in the middle of 18th century, suggesting the age of this piece predating mid-18th century. By Mid-18th century, the export of porcelain from Japan was halted.

Fine Japanese Ceramic Plate by Kinkozan for Yamanaka & Co.
By Kinkozan
Located in Atlanta, GA
A fine Japanese ceramic satsuma plate made by Kinkozan and retailed by Yamanaka & Co. circa 1900-20s (late Meiji to early Tasho Period). The cream-color glazed plate features a very fine decoration of a maple tree in the midst of foliage color-changing in autumn. The poetic composition is stylized but also realistic, with a literati painter's quality, and was advantageously enhanced by the enamel colorings in incredible details. The maple tree is one of the favored motifs by the fine satsuma potters such as Yabu Meizan as it demonstrates the painter's skill. It is signed on the base in gilt kanji seal (Made by Kinkozan) and branded Yamanaka & Co in English. The plate was likely commissioned by the company from Kinkozan for its various galleries in US and Europe. The Kinkozan family established their pottery business first in 1645 and by the end of 19th century, it had become the largest studio producer of Satsuma ware. By the 1850s, Kinkozan Sobei...
