Large 10” 19th C. Japanese Imari Gilt Scalloped Bowl - Meiji Kinrande Iris Motif
This substantial antique bowl showcases an exceptional level of hand-painted detail and technical skill. The central well features a vibrant, poetically rendered scene of blooming irises, a classic Japanese motif representing courage and good news. The scene is painted in deep underglaze cobalt blue and extensively highlighted with 24k gold leaf gilding.
The interior walls are divided into radiating, fan-shaped panels alternating between geometric fretwork, stylized floral cartouches, and traditional "seigaiha" (wave) patterns. The exterior is equally ornate, featuring large-scale chrysanthemums and peonies in a bold iron-red and cobalt palette. The vessel is finished with a rhythmic scalloped rim, adding a sophisticated architectural presence to its form.
Dimensions
Diameter: 10 inches
Height: 3.5 inches
Condition
Good Antique Condition. The porcelain body is structurally sound with no major cracks or restorations. Consistent with its 19th-century age, there are small, stable chips along the scalloped rim and light, age-appropriate surface wear to the gold leaf gilding. The unglazed footrim exhibits authentic shelf wear and kiln artifacts characteristic of period production.
With its commanding 10-inch scale and storied iris symbolism, this Meiji-era antique serves as a premier centerpiece, bringing timeless artisanal craftsmanship and a sophisticated Chinoiserie aesthetic to any curated traditional or Grandmillennial interior.
