AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 5 ancient Japanese porcelain plates in polychrome, featuring a phoenix and floral motifs – Japan
Beautiful homogeneous set of five small antique Japanese porcelain plates, with slightly multi-lobed rims, richly decorated in underglaze blue, red and light blue, with elegant gold highlights.
The design notably includes phoenixes (hō-ō), accompanied by traditional floral and botanical motifs. The center of each plate is adorned with a stylized floral motif in blue and gold.
The reverse is also decorated in underglaze blue. Each of the five plates bears a four-character mark that can be read as 「大化年製」 (Daika nensei). This mark appears to be an archaizing mark and should not be interpreted as a direct dating of the piece.
Dimensions of each plate:
Diameter: 12.5 cm
Height: 3 cm
Quantity: 5 plates
Origin: Japan
Material: porcelain
Decor: phoenixes, flowers and botanical motifs, gold highlights
Estimated period: late 19th – early 20th century, probably Meiji era / early Taishō era
Condition: good antique condition. No cracks or chips. Some wear and loss of gilding are visible mainly on the rims, as well as light signs of use consistent with the pieces’ age. Please review the photographs carefully, which are an integral part of the description.
