Its Saturday evening and somehow all Nexflix movies contain Zombies .... so i decided to hunt down some online Bargains and found 3 Japanese Plates for 65 Dollars i dont have pics of the Back .
Diameter plus minus 10 inches
I think Pic number 2 is the oldest piece
Any Idea
thanx in advance Martin
Hello Martin, they look like nice Arita Imari, the shell shaped one is lovely, the dinner plate looking one could be something other than Imari. Your evening was well employed but I do enjoy a good dystopian zombie movie, like World War Z. Best, Sharon
@lotusblack Hmm i have to check ... similare maybee i find some samples online
Hello Martin,
For the money paid you can't go far wrong. From the photo's all look good for Meiji but perhaps when you have them you can supply better and more detailed photo's. The second one has a nice sense of space and seems to be nicely painted need to see the underside to gauge place of origin and a more definite date.
Cheers
Michael
A few nice things you have bought for small money.
The first and third one look very much in the manner of Meiji wares. The second one maybe either Japanese or Chinese with age.
You will need to post the backs when you receive them.
Mark
Dear Martin,
I assume for the price paid you are a happy camper!
Goodness knows I (and most else here) would also be.. congrats!
This especially considering the second plate looks to be 18th century Chinese (Qianlong) in fairly good condition barring some scattered enamel loss & fritting to the rim.
Definitely a “great grab” and looking forward to your following up upon their arrival.
Best,

Looks like the seller just clears out the estate, shot two nice Oilpaintings for resell and some more Asian antiques to study ... some more stuff i bought last night
The Kutani Vase had a buy now price of 62 Dollars i Love the decoration the plum Birds
The soapstone carvings are my first soapstone items Buy it now 110 Dollars paid .
A nice way to empty my pockets .
Going by gotheborg, the nine-character mark looks to be Kutani, Kaga-kuni Nishiki, made by Keiju. But this website has it labeled as Matsubara Kanshiro. 6th picture down the page..

take it with a grain of salt
Hi Martin,
Beautiful grabs; especially for the price!
My friend spent nearly $300 on such a Kutani piece recently, $62 is great.
Congrats once more on the bargains.
Todd linked a great article on these “Yokohama Kutani” types, and it’s extremely useful when referencing major producers/merchants of the late 19th/early 20th century timeframe..
If you enjoy Kutani, you may benefit from registering for the website: Georges does a great job compiling many marks & the history of their respective producers/artists.
Very modest yearly fee imo for the vast range of learning reachable from within such..
Sadly I can’t tell you the artist (leftmost column) off the top of my head... but can add it to the “to-do” list if I’m able to get some more time later between other translations.
It’s a beautiful piece, though.
Yours looks to have been made by/produced for the ever prominent merchant Watano; as the first two columns (right and center) read “Kaga-no-kuni Watano Sei”(加賀国 綿埜製)..
Some pieces with a similar mark format/composition (Watano [merchant] center, [artist or extended shoppe] on left), I leave below for you:
I believe Georges says on his site he believes this mark variant of Watano (as there are quite a few) is from the era of Watano Genuemon; predecessor to his prolific son Watano Kichiji.
You can read more about them in the article above that Todd kindly linked.
The history is very fun to track down and link between artists/producers/export groups!
Hope this helped give you a good start, and wishing you much joy with your recent treasures acquired..
Best,
-JRN

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
