Porcelain Bowl


Nihonto Chicken

Recommended Posts

Might anyone identify the maker of this bowl and indicate what it might be used for and the theme or significance of all the kanji?  There is also a small saucer with the same graphics but no kanji.  I estimate approximately seven hundred characters on the bowl, done by hand or are they a transfer?

Oops.  I took 三十六歌仙 for 三十古歌仙 so Sanjyuroku Kasen or 36 top poets / songwriters.

(Must have been the Jamison talking...)

Here is a complete listing:

For the most part this stuff was mass produced for the Western market. That small plate has an indentation for a cup in the center which makes it a saucer to a demitasse set.  My guess is that the bowel is too large to be a chawan, just decorative.

 

Thank you.
