Beautiful vintage Hokutosha porcelain basket, marked “Hand Painted” and “Made in Occupied Japan” underneath.
Colorful Imari-style decoration features iron red, cobalt blue, white and extensive gold accents, with floral designs, geometric panels and a stylized bird medallion. The oval basket has a gently scalloped rim and an arched handle with decorative pierced openings.
Measures approximately 4 1/4” high to the top of the handle, 6 1/4” long and 4” wide.
Very nice condition with no chips or cracks; some rubbing and wear to the gold decoration, particularly along the handle and edges, as shown. Please examine all photographs for condition and decorative details.
A lovely display piece for a collection of Japanese porcelain or Occupied Japan ceramics.
