rmvty31

Nippon Hair Receiver & Powder Jar Set A delicate Nippon porcelain handpainted dresser or vanity set consisting of a tri-footed hair receiver and a lidded powder jar. The handpainting has gold beading and individually painted roses and leaves, exquisite work. This set has been used and loved. While there are no chips, cracks or other flaws, the constant use has rubbed a bit of the gold off as seen in the photos. Not enough to mar the beauty of this set, just enough to show its antiquity. The mark shown is the Komaru symbol. It is shown in black and white because of photograpy difficulties. It is actually blue on the white porcelain. The symbol is said to be taken from the Japanese character "Komaru", meaning "overcoming difficulties". The words hand painted over the symbol and below is Nippon. This is a very early mark, possibly from 1910. The mark was used by a forerunner of Noritake.
Circa: 1910
Size: 2.5 x 4
Type: China
