| This decorative Japanese Kutani porcelain plate with a raised “pie crust” edge is hand painted with colorful polychrome enamels in a brilliant Kakiemon palette in Ko Kutani (old Kutani) style. Early 20th century. The base is signed with the typical Kutani black “fuku” or good fortune mark within a double lined square washed over with green enamel. Eight roundels containing different flowers, fruits and maple leaves surround a central medallion composed of chrysanthemums. The rich overglaze enamel palette of iron red, blue, green, yellow and aubergine and heavy gilt create a striking contrast to the bright white ground. The crimped pie crust edge has a repeating diaper design within its border, outlined in a reddish brown glaze (“beni ye”). The reverse is decorated with radiating green enamel “spikes” surrounding the raised foot ring, which is encircled within narrow underglaze blue lines. Kutani, which means nine valleys, is a small village in Kaga Province on the northwest coast of the main island of Japan with a long history of porcelain production. Condition is excellent. Dimensions: 9 5/8” diameter, 1” high. | ||||||||||||||
