ProfessionalProduct description
Elegant Japanese porcelain presentation bowl, raised on a wide pedestal foot and adorned with a remarkable landscape painted in a delicate palette of blues. The decor unfolds like a true print around the piece. In the distance appears the almost ethereal silhouette of Mount Fuji, its summit seemingly disappearing into the mist. In the foreground, the banks come alive with pines with supple branches, traditional pavilions, and a few tiny figures traversing the landscape. Higher up, birds cross a sky left almost entirely white. All the poetry of this piece lies in this very Japanese use of space and silence. The painter does not seek to fill the porcelain. He lets the landscape breathe. The blues thus transition from a strong line, used to define a tree or architecture, to extremely light washes that suggest water, mountains, and distant mists. The form also deserves attention. It is not a simple plate, but a presentation bowl on a pedestal foot, approximately 21 cm in diameter and 7 cm in height. Its widely flared foot gives it a particularly elegant presence on a table, a console, or in a collection of Asian porcelains. The decor does not stop at the rim of the bowl. It continues on the circumference of the pedestal foot, where landscape, architecture, and birds reappear. The piece was therefore designed to be admired both from above and from the side. It belongs to the same Japanese set as the previously presented pieces, with which it shares the ivory porcelain, the pale blue palette, the atmospheric treatment of the landscapes, and the same Dai Nippon signature. Dimensions: approximately 21 cm in diameter, approximately 7 cm in height. Good overall antique condition. Any slight traces of time visible in the photographs are part of the piece's history.
