Vintage 8.5" Japan Lusterware Ceramic Wall Pocket with Moriage Bird Decoration
Here is a vintage hand painted Japanese luster ware ceramic wall pocket with lovely moriage bird decoration. Marked on the back "Hand Painted Japan" with a flower logo with "H". I believe this is the mark for Hotta Yu Shoten Co. May date from the 1940's.
I have placed a ruler in some pictures for size reference. This is a large wall pocket, measuring approx. 8 1/2" long x 3 1/4" wide across the top and almost 2 1/2" deep at the top. It weighs about 12 oz. There is a hole in the back for hanging.
Colorfully hand painted. Iridescent ivory and caramel luster with brown and metallic gold paint, and multi-color Moriage painted birds in flight, plants and tree branches.
Used condition. The exterior is clean and bright, paint wear and imperfection overall. A few minor scratches or glaze skips along the caramel luster band. The black paint along the upper rim has wear and whitish discoloration. No chips, cracks or crazing. There is a tiny original (under the glaze) hole on the back rim, and nearby is a tiny black glaze imperfection or fleabite. The interior is clean - no water stains from usage. No smoke or musty odor.
Please note: bright white spots in my pictures are camera glare.
