GORGEOUS IMARI BOWL

CA. 1835

DIMENSIONS

DESCRIPTION

Beautiful Imari bowl marked "AMHERST JAPAN / NO. (blank) / STONE CHINA" in a blue scroll imprinted mark.  Often the blank would be filled in with a hand painted production number.  Rust red and blue floral and foliate pattern, with a pagoda on a fenced path.  This mark was in use around 1835.

"Amherst Japan" is named after Lord Amherst (1773-1857), the British diplomat who was envoy to Beijing and later, the Governor General of India.  These bowls are usually attributed to the Minton works.
