Subject:Help With Small Bowl Id.
Posted By: Lance Frazer Wed, May 04, 2016 IP: 67.187.170.37 This was just given to me, and I'd like to find out more about it. It's a small bowl, about five inches across, appears to have a small surface crack on the bottom. I'm kind of taken with the image, so if the learned members of the forum will indulge me, I would be grateful for any information on the artist, the figure portrayed and its significance, and anything else that might add to my education. Many thanks in advance. |

Posted By: Bill H Thu, May 05, 2016 Your circa mid-20th century dish has a Kutani mark on the base and a decorative theme probably representing Jurojin, one of two longevity deities found in the Japanese pantheon. See the Wikipedia link for further information on Jurojin. |
