Nippon Porcelain 7.5" Gilded Berry Bowl & 8.75" Matched Plate, Roses

Description

Welcome to
Antiques & Moore!
This listing is for a lovely Nippon berry bowl with matching under plate. The bowl and plate are decorated with colorful pink and ruby roses with green foliage. The design includes heavily gilded golden leaves, roses in gilt medallions and gilded flowers on a light and dark green background around the inside border. The rim is also gilded with a jeweled (beaded) band on the inside just below the rim. The lower body of the bowl has pierced drainage holes with gilded edges and sits above three gilded shell shaped feet. The plate is decorated with a design that matches the border design of the bowl and the bowl fits nicely on the plate. The plate is marked with the Nippon trademark stamp and "Hand Painted" used from 1891-1911. Although this mark has been reproduced, the new mark has "Nippon" printed with a diagonal slant and the leaf mark is 1/2" high with the old leaf mark being only 1/4" high.
Bowl measures 2 3/4" high and 7 1/2" in diameter. Plate measures 1 1/4" high and 8 3/4" in diameter. Combined weight is 1.6 pounds.
This nice berry set is in very good to excellent Estate condition with the only noted flaw being an oval rough spot on the outside of the bowl (see photos). The spot appears similar to a popped bubble in a glass item although it has an unusual look for porcelain. The gilding is bright and there is no noted wear to the painted roses with no scratches in the bottom of the plate. This set has a beautiful display appearance.
