Antique Nippon Old Noritake Egyptian Revival Two Handle Dish Pharaoh King

AI Research and Description

Historical Context & Design AnalysisThis antique porcelain cabinet piece is a significant example of pre-Carter Egyptian Revival export ware, produced by the Morimura Brothers (Nippon / Noritake). Marked with the green Morimura \"M\" in Wreath backstamp alongside \"Hand Painted / NIPPON,\" this dish dates precisely between 1911 and 1921. This specific manufacturing window means the piece was crafted to satisfy the initial, academic wave of Western curiosity in Egyptian antiquities, predating Howard Carter’s mainstream media frenzy following the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun\'s tomb.Designed as a direct counterpart companion piece to the Egyptian Queen dish, the central motif showcases a finely hand-painted profile portrait of an Egyptian Pharaoh (traditionally cataloged by specialists as a King or Prince). The portrait is set against a smooth, airbrushed brown-and-tan gradient background.The Pharaoh is depicted with a highly stylized, polychrome royal headdress featuring rows of vibrant turquoise, terracotta-red, and sky-blue enamel banding, completed with a golden-yellow uraeus (sacred cobra) symbol over the brow. His broad collar or wesekh features meticulous, hand-applied geometric beadwork in raised orange, yellow, and black slip work.The structural layout uses an identical square mold with inverted, scalloped corners. The interior walls are framed with four stylized, symmetrical Egyptian lotus blossoms. The geometric rim band alternates block sections of cobalt blue and brick red, partitioned by fine crisp white lines. The two loop handles feature a warm matte apricot luster glaze, hand-detailed with complex brown filigree scrollwork.Technical Specifications
