We were told this Kutani (Japan) bowl was from ‘around’ 1900. Since the bottom is only marked with the Kutani mark we’ve no way of knowing how much ‘around’ there is. My guess is that around is a pretty roomy place.
Following the McKinley Tariff Act of 1891 all goods intended for import to the United States were supposed to be marked with the country of origin. This is not marked however but there is a good chance it originally had a paper label or it was made for domestic use.
About 9 3/4 inches in diameter.
It is in very good condition. As shown in the gallery pictures below there is some wear to the over-glaze paint but it is generally localized.
