| This unusual studio porcelain bowl is decorated in underglaze blue and overglaze colored enamels with designs of morning glories. Early 20th century. There is a three character underglaze blue signature, set off to the left side on the base, which we have not been able to identify. The interior is hand painted with morning glory blossoms in shades of white, blue and peach. Leaves are drawn in green and blue. The flowers are decorated with gold highlights, and the lip is fully gilded. The outside rim is decorated with an underglaze blue octopus scroll (takokarakusa) design, and the thick unglazed foot is surrounded by several blue rings. Studio ceramics are best defined as the output of potters who either participated in, or closely supervised, most of the process of craft production at their kilns. Although we have been unable to identify this particular potter, his work is of the same high caliber as other more recognized studio ceramics artists such as Kozan, Seifu, Genroku, etc. Condition is excellent, with the exception of some gilt loss on the lip. Dimensions: 9” diameter, 2” high. | ||||||||||||
