Featured Japanese Porcelain Saucer.

I found this porcelain saucer the other day. I feel that it is Japanese and my gut feeling is that it is a very early one. I haven't found another identical although I have found similar border patterns dated to c1700. It's about 13cm

Any thoughts?

That's a tough one, I certainly see what you mean with the pattern and the colours. The thing that make me hesitate is the soft gold which is a typical trait of the 1850-1920's period.

 

Thanks. I'm getting an expert to check it.

 

I did come across this, confirmed as 17th century:

 

Thanks again. There are certainly close similarities in style.

 

Agree, there is a lot of similarity including the way the colour is laid down - hopeful for you.

 

My expert tells me that the saucer is definitely c1700 . He showed me a bowl in his collection with a near identical pattern .
