Delicate riverside scene with birds, in traditional Japanese style
This listing is for a vintage Japanese porcelain plate, measuring 13 cm in diameter, featuring a beautifully hand-painted landscape of birds among flowering plants beside a tranquil river scene. The plate is scalloped around the edge and detailed with subtle gilt highlights, making it a charming display piece.
Diameter: 13 cm
Material: Glazed porcelain
Design: Hand-painted with a detailed scene including long-legged birds, chrysanthemums, and a riverside landscape with a traditional building in the background
Colour Palette: Soft enamelled shades of green, pink, gold, and brown with orange accents and gilt-trimmed edges
Marking: Signed on the underside in red with the hiragana characters ふじ (Fuji)
This signature likely refers to the artist's pseudonym or workshop and is typical of mid-20th century Japanese export pieces
Style Influence: The painting style shows influence from the Kutani decorative tradition, but the simplified signature and design place it more accurately as a post-war (c. 1950s–1970s) decorative piece
Origin: Japan
This piece is vintage and used, but in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks, or repairs. The paintwork is intact and the gold rim shows only minimal wear. A lovely example of post-war Japanese artistry.
