Ring holder, sitting Geisha figurine
A charming porcelain figurine of a seated geisha holding a fan or mirror, covered in rich gold, red, blue and green enamel. Made in Japan during the Meiji period, this figurine is marked and is in good vintage condition with no cracks or chips.
The marking "太日本 高田製" (Dai Nippon Takada-sei) on Japanese porcelain indicates that the piece was made during the Meiji period (1868–1912) or early Taisho period.
Here are some key details about this marking:
Character Meanings:
太日本 (Dai Nippon): Means "Great Japan." This was a standard prefix for export goods of the time, emphasizing national pride after Japan's discovery of the world.
高田 (Takada): The craftsman's surname or workshop name.
製 (Sei): Means "made" or "made."
Type of Product: Workshops with this marking often specialized in elaborate painting (overglaze enamel, gilding) for the Western market.
Takada features: In Gifu Prefecture (Tajimi District), there is a tradition of Takada pottery (Takada-yaki), which is famous for its blue clay products and inlay technique (dzogan). However, the marking "Dai Nippon Takada-sei" more often refers to fine white porcelain with hand-painted.
