Dish ■ Gosu-de Nankin Sometsuke Late Ming Dynasty to Early Qing Dynasty (around the 17th century) Sand High Foot 2-piece set Seika Karamon Chinese Antique Old Art Antiques ■ These are quite old, with age-related wear, cracks, small scratches, and insect bites. There are no major cracks or chips. They have a good age and a very nice flavor. Size: Width 16.5 x Height 3.1 cm These are called "Gosu-de" and "Nankin Sometsuke," which were fired in Fujian Province's Dezhou kiln and other kilns during the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty (around the 17th century) in China. These are a pair of small porcelain bowls from the Edo period, with elegant patterns such as phoenixes and flowers painted in blue underglaze on white porcelain. Inside each bowl, scenes of birds perching on flowers and seasonal flowers are exquisitely depicted, creating a design that condenses the beauty of nature. On the outside, regular geometric patterns and arabesques are arranged, and the overall composition is well-organized. The rim is finished with a natural wavy shape, maintaining an elegant form. The blue color of the underglaze is deeply colored, and the high level of firing technology can be seen. The beautiful color scheme created by the cleanliness of the white porcelain and the shades of blue is a masterpiece of Edo period porcelain craftsmanship. Although the two bowls were made using the same method, they each have different patterns, harmonizing symmetry and individuality. It is a high-class item with practical use as tea utensils and high value for appreciation. Shipping is planned via Sagawa Express (or Mercari shipping depending on the location). Free shipping.
