COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Japanese blue and white porcelain from the Meiji era was widely exported and admired for its refined brushwork and detailed ornamentation. Arita kilns continued long-standing traditions while adapting designs for both domestic and international markets. Decorative bowls of this type remain popular with collectors of Japanese ceramics and Asian export wares.
