About the Item

A large Japanese porcelain platter decorated with over glaze enamels featuring three ladies in the garden among the rock grottoes, a cherry tree in blossom, a half-hidden banana tree and peonies. The ladies were pictured as holding various item, a fly whisk, a mirror, and a fan, implying their status of high-status maidens. The back of the plate is marked with a single character in a red seal as well as impressed with a Japanese potter's seal. This plate was likely made in one of the Imari kilns in Arita region in Kyushu Island. The purple background is unusual while the other colors hint at Kutani ware. We aren't able to identify the pressed mark for the potter.

In a Classic Japanese composition that was popular in the Meiji Period, the plate displays a riot of auspicious elements, arranged still in a surprisingly harmonious manner.

Located in Atlanta, GA

A fine Japanese ceramic satsuma plate made by Kinkozan and retailed by Yamanaka & Co. circa 1900-20s (late Meiji to early Tasho Period). The cream-color glazed plate features a very fine decoration of a persimmon tree bearing fruits. The composition is poetic, stylized but also realistic, with a literati painter's quality, and was advantageously enhanced by the enamel colorings in incredible details. The mastership of the medium came through the piece. It is signed on the base in gilt kanji seal (Made by Kinkozan) and branded Yamanaka & Co in English. The plate was likely commissioned by the company from Kinkozan for its various galleries in US and Europe. The Kinkozan family established their pottery business first in 1645 and by the end of 19th century, it had become the largest studio producer of Satsuma ware. By the 1850s, Kinkozan Sobei...
