Antique Kakiemon plate
Stunning antique porcelain plate or dish, decorated with the “pale tiger” design, colourful drawn motifs in the center bolstered by a fluted, basket weave border. Creeping upwards, the dark wood of the tree draws our eye, even as the tiger’s spectral pale-violet fur is contrasted with its pitch black stripes.
The bamboo which the tiger weaves around is a deep ochre, complimenting the dark leaves. The purple rim across the edge is also a highlight, and well preserved too.
Kakiemon is a style of Japanese porcelain with an overglaze, so-called “enamel” finish.
Kakiemon porcelain was exported from Japan into Europe via the Dutch East India Company in the late 17th century, where its contact with European cultural tastes precipitated the style’s appropriation by german manufacturers in the early 18th century, followed by Chelsea, Worcester, and indeed Caughley towards the end of the 18th century.

Great antique condition. One crack bisects the plate, and small webbed cracking beneath the enamel, please carefully regard all photos.
