I, and my brothers and sister, were born and raised in Japan during the 1950s and 1960s; our parents were missionaries. During that time we and our mother collected many unique Japanese antiques. My 96-year-old mother, who continued to collect antiques in Japan until my parents' retirement in 1989, is finally giving up some of her treasures.
One of them is this beautiful vintage large Japanese porcelain bowl. It Japanese Inban (transfer ware) But it also has repeated stamped elements to it, so it is a combination of transfer and stamp. It dates to the Meiji period, circa 1880. It is unique, like hotsell no other that we have seen. The blues are really vibrant. There are butterflies on the side and flowers on the inside. It is very old, over a quarter inch thick, and is in excellent condition.
