ANTIQUE JAPANESE PORCELAIN BOWL WITH UNDERGLAZE BLUE CHARACTER MARK

拍品描述

Circa 1800s - 1865. A circular porcelain bowl featuring a gently tapering body finished in a smooth white glaze. The piece rests upon a raised, unglazed footrim, with a recessed base centered by a single hand-painted character in underglaze blue. The stylized brushwork is characteristic of traditional artisan "shop marks" or kiln signatures. Very good vintage condition with minor kiln imperfection and roughness along foot rim edge, no cracks or restorations. Please refer to the photos for more details. Measures 5-1/8" in diameter, 2-1/2" in height. Provenance: From the estate and heirs of Robert Clarence Pruyn (1847–1934), American inventor, banker, businessman, and politician; son of Robert Hewson Pruyn, who was the Minister to Japan as appointed by Abraham Lincoln, and founder of Albany Law School; a member of one of Albany’s oldest and most prominent Dutch families in New York. This property in auction was from the Pruyn/Morgan family Summer home collection at Papoose Island in Clayton, NY, where many of the wealthy families of the Gilded Age summered in the 1000 Islands, lived very well and entertained lavishly.
