This is a very rare and valuable item. It is extremely uncommon to find another one like it on the market. This piece features an eggshell design, so thin that light shines through it (see images). The entire surface of the delicate vessel is hand-painted with vibrant scenes of Edo-era landscapes and customs, a design that was very popular overseas. It also features raised white glaze decoration, giving it a three-dimensional effect. The high level of skill of the artisans of the time is evident. This item was manufactured for export to Europe and America during the Meiji to Taisho periods. This item, manufactured for export overseas during the same period as Old Noritake, which is generally referred to as Old Nippon, has been brought back to Japan. *Please check the images and contact us if you have any questions.
