ITEM
Noritake Art Deco Scalloped Orange Lusterware Deco Cottage Floral Bowl 7.25 in
AI Research and Description
- DescriptionThis piece bears the authentic red Noritake Morimura "M in Wreath" backstamp, dating its export production firmly between 1921 and 1940. Wares bearing the red ink stamp variant indicate premium, meticulously executed factory-painted designs intended for higher-end Western retail venues during the inter-war period. The stylized "Art Deco Cottage" motif—characterized by its asymmetrical whimsical geometry and bold blocks of primary red pigment—is a highly sought-after graphic configuration. Notably, this exact decorative landscape pattern holds verified historical significance, as an identical example is famously showcased as a reference benchmark on the cover of David Spain's authoritative literature regarding Noritake fancywares.Catalog-Style DescriptionMfr / Studio: Noritake (Morimura Bros.)
