AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of antique Japanese blue and white porcelain plates – landscape and figures – Japan
Beautiful pair of small antique Japanese plates in blue and white porcelain, with an energetic, slightly polylobed form.
The center of each plate is decorated underglaze in blue with a traditional Japanese landscape, depicting mountains, architectures and a character in a natural setting.
The rim features a rich alternating decoration of geometric and vegetal motifs, while the exterior is also adorned with small blue-painted motifs.
Both plates show slight differences in the execution of the decoration, indicative of artisanal craftsmanship.
Dimensions of each plate:
15.2 × 11 cm
Height: 3.7 cm
Origin: Japan
Material: porcelain
Decoration: blue and white, landscape and figure
Estimated period: probably late Meiji period – early Taisho period, around the late 19th / early 20th century. Dating given as an indication.
Condition
Generally good antique condition. One of the two plates has a small chip on the edge, clearly visible in the photographs. Presence of light signs of use, minor firing irregularities and age-related markings.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and allow an exact assessment of the pieces’ condition.
Charming pair of antique Japanese porcelains, of interest both for a collection and for decoration.
