I picked this up at the flea market today. i think it's pretty old and very pretty, but i don't know anything about it. i hope to find out more about it by posting it here and on the FB Japanese Ceramics page.
I would say Japanese Imari because of the fabric panel inserts and the blue. I usually think orange red backgrounds with gold decoration for Kutani pieces. :)
thanks mikelv! i think this may be an Edo piece.
i love the cartouches of the dancing red-capped crane dancing in the garden!
i see kakeimon colors and some elements - like the branches / buds, the white space, but i also see the encroachment of the million medallions from meiji. could it be a transitional piece - early to mid- 1800s?
I believe Stella has one also, I'll ask her when she gets home.... Very cool
Please do kerry10456! i've been told that it is definitely NOT kakiemon, but that it is Imari - probably mid 19th century.
it looks like edo to me
