A 17th Century Japanese Kakiemon Porcelain Bowl, Kakiemon Kilns c.1670 – 1690. This small Kakiemon flower shaped bowl with Nigoshide (milky white) body depicts garden trellis supporting a fruiting vine. Grapes carried various symbolic meanings in Japan, abundance, a rich harvest or leading a long life. They are, of course, the fruit of Autumn. A bird, perhaps a bush warbler, has the grapes in its sight. The rim is dressed in a brown iron oxide glaze. Kakiemon porcelain, like the present example, was popular in Japan but were also exported to Europe. Collections such as those at Burghley House had Kakiemon porcelain. https://collections.burghley.co.uk/?s=kakiemon See below for more photographs and references. SOLD
