Stunning large antique Japanese Meiji period Satsuma charger decorated very much in the manner of Taizan Yohei IX, even though it appears to be unsigned. Featuring beautifully painted scene with a kingfisher perched on a stump and swallowing a fish, with another bird – perhaps a sparrow – flying behind him. Scene is framed by heavily gilded border and foliage and set against a gorgeous blue background. Really wonderful decorative piece for a collection.
Small chip to the rim as photographed. Some staining and small tension line visible on the back. Displays beautifully!
Diameter: 37.2 cm / 14.6 inches
