Japanese Porcelain Dish c.1690 – 1730

c.1690 - 1730

An Unusual Japanese Porcelain Dish, Arita Kilns c.1690 – 1730. The border of this dish is well known, it is found on Japanese porcelain decorated with a landscape after the Dutch Delftware artist Frederik Van Frytom (1632 – 1702). The border also appears on the Chinese versions of these dishes, see below for a photograph of both versions. This wavy rim is European in origin, it occurs on 18th century English Pottery and is referred to pie crust rim. The present example, as well as the Van Frytom dishes, have a repeated wave design in two tones of blue that are separated by white, using the Sumihajiki technique (wax resist). Dishes with this distinctive border without a Van Frytom design are known but they are uncommon. The present example is rather striking, a broken tree, perhaps a prunus tree, with thin branches of flowering prunus. Perhaps a comment on the fragility of life.
