Antique Japanese Satsume shallow bowl with incredibly fine painting, gilding and enamelling. Sold to me as 18th century, it is certainly over 100 years old. 1 of 2 from the same collection.<BR>Measures 9 1/2inches in diameter and 2 inches high. <BR>Side profusely decorated with a tight pattern of scrolls, clouds, geometric and naturalistic forms in gold, white, red and green enamel on a deep earthy red ground. An unusually large group of scholars engaged in a variety of pursuits fill the bottom half of the bowl: one group examines a large scroll, some play Go, some discuss an open book, many of them with gold outlined fans. A child and watercarrier add to the colour. Detail of costume and faces is extraordinary. <BR>Behind the people are various pagodas and buildings with a naturalistic landscape in the background. Very fine detail to all parts of the painting, a lot of gold and enamel highlights. Great design.<BR>Back shows clear signs of good age. No chips/cracks (checked with blacklight). <BR>Previous owner had assessment done by a major auction house for $6000.-
