Tray - hard-paste porcelain - Meiji/Taishō period

Antique signed Japanese porcelain platter – hand-painted – ca. 1910–1925. A particularly large and atmospheric Japanese porcelain platter from the first quarter of the 20th century. Not a ordinary utilitarian object, but a refined decorative piece in which the Japanese love of nature, calm and harmony beautifully comes together. The platter is entirely hand-painted with a classical combination of kachō-ga – flowers and birds – and sansui, the traditional landscape painting with mountains, water and trees. At the center are two finely worked pheasant-like birds among flowers and grasses, while other birds fly through the landscape. In the background unfolds a serene mountain-and-water landscape with trees and traditional buildings. The soft pink, blue, green, brown and gray tones give the whole an elegant and tranquil appearance. The lightly scalloped edge is finished with delicate gold decoration. At the bottom there is a red hand-painted two-character mark, presumably read as 林山 – Rinzan. A definitive attribution to a specific artist or workshop cannot be fully confirmed; therefore it is carefully offered as signed Japanese porcelain, with signature presumably Rinzan. Based on form, painting technique and execution, the platter is dated to ca. 1910–1925, late Meiji / Taishō period. Specifications: Origin: Japan. Period: ca. 1910–1925. Material: porcelain. Technique: hand-painted. Style: kachō-ga / sansui. Signature: presumably 林山 / Rinzan. Dimensions: ca. 38 × 30 cm. Weight: over 1,100 grams. Edge: scalloped and gilded. Condition: Good antique condition, appropriate for its age. Localized light wear to the gold edge. On one side there is a subtle age line, mainly visible upon close inspection. The painting is otherwise beautifully preserved. A lovely piece of old Japanese ceramic heritage, appealing to collectors of Japanese porcelain, Asian art and Japonisme, but also highly decorative in a stylish interior. Carefully packed and shipped within 3 days after payment with tracking and tracing."
