Japanese Porcelain Kutani Ware Miniature Bowls, Meiji Period Circa 1880

19th century
Description

These superb miniature porcelain bowls originate from the Kutani region of Japan, dating from the Meiji period, circa 1880. They are superb examples of some of their finest workmanship, which is rarely available to purchase. This tiny pair of bowls is intricately hand decorated with the interior beautifully painted and gilded with an amazing display of intricate flowers and foliage with a fine scrolling boarder around the rim. The decoration is produced in thin and thick coloured enamels, highlighted with rich gilding, some of which are raised, giving an almost three dimensional appearance. The outside of the bowls by contrast, is boldly decorated with a traditional scroll and stylised flower broad boarder in rich colours with detailed gilding. These fine porcelain bowls are hand signed on their bases with Japanese character marks. Both pieces are in pristine condition. Japanese circa 1880

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Kutani ware originates from Japan and is renowned for its overglaze enamels, intricate line work, and prominent use of iron-red and gold pigments, particularly during the Meiji period.

Kutani ceramics are constructed from fine white porcelain clay coated in clear glaze, followed by hand-painted overglaze mineral enamels and metallic gold leaf or paint applied in low-temperature firings.

Authentic pieces feature detailed hand-painted floral or figural decoration, iron-red geometric patterns, delicate gilding, thin porcelain body construction, and artist signatures on the underside.

These miniature decorative bowls can be displayed inside a glass cabinet, arranged upon a brass tray on a console table, or placed alongside art literature on a coffee table.

Dust gently using a clean, soft dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid submerging in water or using abrasive chemical cleaners to prevent loss of fragile surface gilding.
