An Immense Japanese Cloisonne Charger with Landscape

Meiji period (1868-1912), beautifully decorated with a scene of two figures seated on a river edge pointing up at the sky where a large hawk is pursuing dozens of plovers, below in lower right side in larger format are irises and morning glories, the landscape shows colors of the setting sun and shadows being cast over the landscape, very fine technique by a master artist, turquoise blue enamel to the underside, unmarked.

18 1/4 in. diameter

Collection of Michael and Ingrid Kelly, Worldwide Gallery Antiques, Fredericksburg, Virginia

Very good estate condition; some slight craze marks above the larger bird; holes drilled to foot rim for hanging.
