Need identification help please on platter/bowl

4 years ago

I was told that this platter/bowl was purchased in Japan before World War I. Has anyone seen anything like this or familiar with this pattern? Thanks for any help.

It's Japanese Imari ware in the Arita fan type of pattern. The Arita fan is a style of a pattern not a cut and dried pattern. From the back appears to be late 19th century, possibly very early 20th. Very nice piece!!
There are newer pieces out there but you can tell by the back that yours is old.

Wow, thank you so much!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to share that information. Thanks a million!!

In looking at your link, I found very similar markings on the back of some pieces from the Meiji Period. This period was from 1868 to 1912 so would put mine in the time frame I was told. The woman I got it from is 86 years old and her uncle brought this from Japan before World War I.

in photobucket.. use the HTML code.. paste it right here where you type.. on preview.. if you see it.. we will see it ... [NOT the IMG code] second plant.. if you could get a pic .. in focus.. of that one hanging leaf.. we might get somewhere.. if i saw those berries in summer.. i would think wild cherry.. prunus serotina.. but they should be long gone.. in nov ... the first looks so familiar.. for MI ... but i am blanking this morning ... honeysuckle.. WAG ... which is endemic in MI ... see link if you could mark the plants.. and get pic of actual leaves... or even dead ones from the ground.. it would probably be a lot easier than looking at sticks.. lol...a red berry isnt that great an ID variable by itself ... may the force be with you ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: hey honey ...

I think Coral Bean is a great plant to grow in your yard if you have the space. It is thorny, as you know, and can get pretty large so you don't want to cram it in too tight a space. It is a great plant for attracting hummingbirds when it blooms in the spring. As it matures it forms a really large, deep root, so it usually cannot be moved easily once planted in the ground for a year or two.

Very pretty piece! Due to the possible lead content, enjoy it on display only; don’t use for serving food.

Nonsense...it is high fired stoneware/porcelain....no lead leaking out of that. Where the danger of lead in pottery comes is with the opaque lead based glazes and the low fired pottery/ceramics to be used for decoration.
BUT I wouldn't be using an old Imari Japanese porcelain bowl to serve my goulash from!!
