About the Item

This elegant 1910s Nippon porcelain dish exemplifies the artistry and refinement of Japanese export porcelain during the early 20th century. Designed in a long, elongated oval form, the piece was intended as a dedicated serving dish for celery or asparagus, a reflection of the formal dining traditions of the Edwardian era, when specialized serving pieces demonstrated both hospitality and sophistication at the table. The surface is beautifully hand-painted with vibrant red-orange poppies, framed by fine gilt accents and banding. Poppies, a favored motif in Art Nouveau and early 20th century design, symbolized remembrance, beauty, and the fleeting nature of life, making them a poignant and fashionable choice for decorative arts of the period. This dish is marked “Nippon”, signifying production between 1891 and 1921, when Japanese porcelain was specifically stamped for export to the American market. Nippon porcelain is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, delicate translucence, and richly detailed hand-painted decoration, qualities clearly present in this example. Condition: Excellent antique condition. No chips or cracks. Minor, age-appropriate wear to some of the gold banding. A wonderful piece of Edwardian-era dining culture, this dish serves equally well as a collectible, display object, or conversation piece reflecting the beauty and significance of Nippon porcelain.
