<p>[QUOTE=&quot;shamster, post: 11168918, member: 85821&quot;]I just bought this bowl for roughly £50 because I think the quality of the Maki-e painting is very fine at that price, yet I’m unsure of its age.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s 18cm in diameter. The style of the butterflies reminds me of Meiji works, while the unusual shape compared to traditional Japanese bowls makes me wonder if this is made for European market. It bears an amateur&#039;s repair on one petal-perhaps the whole petal was broken at some point. Also wear of MOP inlays and gold everywhere.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]537881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537882[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537885[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537887[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
