Meiji Period (1868-1912) Chrysanthemum Bowl
Blue and white porcelain was made in enormous quantities during the Meiji period, but every so often a pattern stops you in your tracks. Here, bold chrysanthemum blooms are connected by an undulating ribbon that gives the whole composition a surprising sense of movement.
It's a confident design—decorative without feeling crowded—and one that still feels remarkably fresh more than a century later. Pieces like this remind us that everyday tableware was often made with an extraordinary eye for balance and detail.
More than a century on, it's that flowing ribbon that still steals the show.
