Item description for Blue White Gold Japanese Porcelain Rice Bowl Arita Hizen Meiji Chrysanthemum

This unique and beautiful Japanese footed rice bowl is white with an outer floral design in cobalt blue with gold gilt and blue stripes around the foot. The pattern is possibly a chrysanthemum and it resembles an open umbrella too.

The mark on the bottom is the abbreviated Hizen mark. It has only the Hi part of Hizen, meaning Arita region, usually from the Meiji Period, dating from 1969-1912. Arita-Hi(zen) I have not found any information about the mark being copied or used in modern time. I cannot verify the age of this piece. I can only give the information that I found in my research.

This small rice bowl is approximately 5-1/4" diameter at the top with a foot that is about 2" diameter. The bowl is 1-3/4" tall and holds approximately 6 fluid ounces when filled to the brim.

Very Good Condition

Shipping may be a bit high, depending how far it needs to ship, because it weighs almost a pound with a box and packing material.
