AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique Japanese Imari Porcelain Shaving Bowl
Arita Region, Japan - 18th-Century
Shaving bowls of this period are characterized by their traditional half-moon cutout along the rim, designed to fit comfortably against the neck during shaving.
Decorated in vibrant underglaze blue, iron red, and gilt highlights (Imari palette).
Features a central flower vase filled with chrysanthemums set upon a garden terrace with a balustrade. Surrounded by intricate paneled reserves, floral motifs, and birds along the curved rim.
In good, sturdy condition with no visible cracks, chips or flakes to the porcelain. The reverse side shows some localized discoloration, which may suggest a very old, historic restoration; however, this is neither visible nor felt on the surface.
Overall, a very solid and presentable piece of 18th-century Asian art.
Diameter: 27 cm
Depth: 7 cm
Featuring two original small suspension holes at the rim for wall display.
Provenance: acquired from a fine estate sale in The Hague, the Netherlands.
This decorative antique Japanese dish will be carefully packed and shipped insured.
