Porcelain - Japan - Meiji period (1868-1912)

Japanese blue & white porcelain bowl (Sometsuke), relief-moulded decor, marked, Meiji period

Japanese blue and white porcelain bowl dating to the Meiji period. The bowl is decorated in underglaze blue (sometsuke) with a central medallion depicting a bird among flowering branches, surrounded by a patterned well and a wide relief-moulded border featuring landscape elements.
The exterior is finely potted and the interior shows a characteristic diamond-patterned texture, consistent with Japanese porcelain production of the late 19th century.
The underside bears an underglaze blue mark/signature. While the mark is not fully legible, the form, decoration and glaze are consistent with Meiji-period Japanese porcelain, possibly from a Seto or Mino kiln tradition.
A well-balanced and decorative example of Meiji blue and white ware, suitable for collectors of Japanese ceramics.
