A Japanese Porcelain Charger with Horse and Figures

Meiji period (1868–1912), late 19th century, a large porcelain charger finely decorated in polychrome enamels and gilt with a spirited horse fleeing three figures through a windswept landscape, the scene framed by a bold geometric border of interlocking floral motifs, the reverse decorated in underglaze blue and iron-red with scrolling lotus, the underside with a square Fuku mark in blue.
