Monumental Japanese Arita Jardiniere - Fish Bowl

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this monumental Meiji period (1868-1912 ) fish tank or jardiniere, manufactured in the Hizen province in Arita around 1890 , the huge pot is predominantly decorated in typical Arita ware blue and white palette depicting a raging river below a mountainous pine forest, amidst this natural setting the artist has captured in polychrome decoration the moment a huge eagle swoops to pick up a tiger cub, the adult tiger leaps through the pine trees to defend its young cub, meanwhile another startled and clearly frightened tiger cub sits cowering beside the river bank, the artist has captured this dramatic scene of nature in an almost comical cartoon fashion, the jardiniere is nicely signed to the underside and clearly shows the spit marks from being suspended in the kiln,can you imagine the degree of difficulty potting an item this size and then firing it in a wood kiln, a fantastic addition to your Japanese themed room or conservatory, and a worthy addition to any Japanese works of art collection .

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.
