Subject:Oops V2.0 - 2 More Imari(?) Cats with Identification & Translation Request
Posted By: Chris Fri, Jul 15, 2022 IP: 2600:8801:fb00:a16:8
Hello Once Again,
So while pulling Chinese art I came across box I had labeled "2 Imari cats, ..." (though tbh I do not know whether they are Japanese or Chinese in origin) and as I'm trying to close the book on Japanese art wanted to request the forum's input.
Both measure 7 1/4 inches tall (18.4 cm) and are enameled overglaze, with overpaint for the eyes and whiskers and gold highlights in the vein structure of the larger leaves.
I wasn't sure of the cartouche's proper orientation so I posted it in duplicate. I am hoping someone might be able to identify/translate the cartouche (and maybe make sense of the triangular mark), thus helping identify their time and place of origin.
As always, I sincerely appreciate the time and assistance you all provide and thank you in advance for the same.
Kind Regards,
Chris
