Description
Huge c1900 Meiji Period Hand Painted Japanese bowl. Great piece from the 1890's to about 1910 at the latest. 16" wide x 3.5" deep with no cracks, chips, or restorations, expected wear to gilding on rim. Exremely rare to find a piece like this with the original label as in the late 20th century many would have removed this label and presented this as a mid 19th century piece. Personally I don't think it matters whether this is 1860 or 1900, it's the same piece and definitely a handmade antique that would cost much more than I'm asking for it to make today with all this hand painted work involved. I think it's nice to be able to put a definite date on it rather than guessing. isshelf
