About the Item
An elegant French Louis XVI style Japonisme centerpiece comprised of a large 19th century Meiji Period Japanese Imari Porcelain bowl with French gilt metal ormolu mounts, late 19th-early 20th century, France and Japan.
The 19th century Meiji Period Imari bowl of nice scale, with high walls and a slightly everted rim, and decorated in a traditional Imari palette of underglaze blue and white, over-glaze orange and green enamels, and gilt highlights.
The bowl designed with a geometric pattern of stylized pine bark with large peony blossoms and stylized brocade balls.
The ormolu mounts finely cast, comprising of a footed base and scalloped and rim with attached pair of handles.
The everted rim of the bowl fitted with an ormolu scalloped and pierced everted rim.

The centerpiece is raised on an ormolu base, with the gilt feet wonderfully cast as charming and playful dragons chasing each other and holding sprigs of reishi - the fungus of immortality - in their mouths.

- Large Japanese Imari Gilt Charger, the Six Immortal Poets, Meiji Period, JapanLocated in Austin, TXA bold and unusual large 18.5" diameter Japanese gilt ground Imari porcelain charger featuring the Rokkasen, the Six Immortal Poets, Meiji Period, circa 1900, Japan. The impressive charger features a striking image of the Six Immortal Poets, known as the Rakkasen, seated in fenced pavilion within a lush garden setting and surrounded by numerous books and scrolls. Gnarled pine trees and and branches laden with plum blossoms tower overhead, while chrysanthemum and massive peonies bloom among rocky outcrops. The scene is unexpectedly and masterfully executed as if on a byobu, a traditional Japanese six panel folding screen. The screen is opened in a dramatic manner, slightly akimbo, almost jumping off the dish, reminiscent of the "screens within screens" genre that developed during the Edo Period. Despite the folds and changes in perspective, the painting remains harmonious and lyrical, with the fully gilt ground adding a sense of warmth and sumptuousness. The screen is bordered with a geometric bands in the shippo pattern. The shippo pattern features interlocking circles, and symbolizes the Seven Treasures. The shippo pattern on a larger scale serves at the background fo the rest of the charger. The backside of the charger decorated with two bands with underglaze blue designs. The reserve decorated with scattered stylized blossoms in iron red and gilt. The Rakkasen, known in English as the Six Immortal Poets, are a group of 9th century Heian Period waka poets whose works were included and praised by name in an anthology of poetry collected by the courtier, poet, and writer, Ki no Tsurayuki. Waka poems are a strict five line...Category

- Japanese Yoshidaya Saiko Kutani Ceramic DishBy YoshidayaLocated in Atlanta, GAA Japanese Ao-Kutani stoneware dish with overglaze decoration in the shape of barbed quatrefoil shape from late Edo period, circa early mid-19th century. Around 1804, 100 years after Ko-Kutani (old-Kutani) ware disappeared abruptly after thriving from 1655-early 1700s, saiko-kutani (revived-kutani) was attempted by many kilns and several distinguished styles developed. Among them, Yoshidaya kiln attempted to revive the original style of Ko-Kutani known as Aote, which employed four dark colors: green, yellow, dark blue/black and aubergine to create bold and striking design. The Yoshidaya production was short-lived and lasted roughly from 1823-1831. This dish is likely dated from this period or shortly after. The overglaze design centered around a crouching tiger under a black bamboo grove in a deep green background, surrounded by luxuriant banana leaves in green and aubergine with black outlines. The base of a similar concentric barbed quatrefoil design is further decorated with black foliage outlines and marked with a square Fuku mark. For a Yoshidaya dish with identical shape but different landscape decoration, see lot 79 of sale 6547 Christie's London. Important Japanese and Chinese Art...Category
