This is a nice little Arita blue and white bowl with a design of two fishermen sitting in a boat and drinking tea at a low table in the bottom of the boat. There appears to be a sail above the fishermen on the left and two distant boats can be seen on the interior of the bowl. What makes the piece so unusual is that at a point midway in the design, the clay was folded over and buttoned together with a clay dot. The bowl measures 4 ½” diameter and is 2 3/8” high at the rim. It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. We date it to the mid to late Meiji period, circa 1885-1910. There is a signature on the bottom that translates as "Izumi Zo"(Izumi made). |
