DESCRIPTION

A large Japanese porcelain plate decorated in a colorful Ko-Kutani palette. The central scene depicts an elegant lady and child within a garden of flowering branches, peonies, rockwork and foliage, with a long-tailed phoenix perched above. A broad black-ground border is richly decorated with colorful flowers and scrolling foliage, creating a strong contrast with the white central field. The reverse is simply glazed and bears a faint impressed Yamatoku mark within the foot.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Yamatoku was a Japanese kiln associated with Arita and Imari porcelain production, with impressed marks recorded from the Meiji period onward. The combination of an impressed kiln mark, elaborate polychrome decoration and traditional figural and phoenix imagery makes this an appealing example of Japanese decorative porcelain.
