Subject:Japanese B&W Covered Bowl -
Posted By: Bill H Sat, Sep 08, 2018 IP: 2601:342:80:4e1c:b17 I'm trying to atone myself with Japanese collectors in the forum for my regular errors in transliterations and other fine points of the language. Here's a recent find, a blue & white lidded bowl with figural decoration and marks of Fuki Choshun (Riches, Honors & Long Life), which aspects could possibly indicate pre-Meiji period origins. At least most of the similar marks described by James Lord Bowes in his Meiji period book of marks and seals were Hizen (Arita) products described as "Old Japan" or Edo. |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, Sep 10, 2018 Arjan, thanks much for the comment on this bowl. The blue actually has a bit more gray than my pictures show. I use sunlight-value fluorescent lamps, which are old and starting to lend a green cast to the images. I can compensate with Photoshop, but diminishing the green tends to enhance the blues. Here are some shots of the underside of the lid and inside of the bowl. Perhaps a little truer but still not 100%. The first two shots are of the lid; the last being the bowl. |

Posted By: Emiko Gilmore Tue, Sep 11, 2018 Hi Bill and Arjan, this blue and white sometsuke rice bowl is known as "kanton-wan" (Canton style rice bowl). It is listed in the book, Shibata Collection, No.3631 as Sometsuke Tojin Take-mon futatsuki-wan (blue and white China or Korean figural Bamboo motif), 1780-1790. Very nice. Emiko |
