DRAGONWARE !! Vintage 1940-50's Japanese Fine China (Very Fine) Collectable Dish

RARE VINTAGE JAPANESE FINE CHINA (VERY FINE PORCELAIN) DRAGONWARE DISH

THIS RARE VINTAGE DISH WAS NOT MANUFACTURED FOR EXPORT PURPOSES AND IS THEREFORE NOT MARKED.  THE ITEMS SUPERB QUALITY AND FINE CHINA MANUFACTURE WOULD MEAN THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURED AS A GIFT WITHIN JAPAN ITSELF.   ALTHOUGH NOT MARKED, THE FACT THAT THE RAISED RELIEF DRAGON WHICH DECORATES THE DISH HAS THREE TOES UPON EACH FEET WOULD MEAN THE DISH IS OF JAPANESE ORIGIN RATHER THAN CHINESE.

THE DETAIL UPON THE ITEMS DECOR IS EXTREMELY ARTISTICALLY AND PRECISELY PAINTED SINCE A MERE BRUSH OF A FINGERTIP ACROSS THE DRAGON ENABLE ONE TO ACTUALLY FEEL THE INDIVIDUAL SCALES ETC.  THE DISH HAS ALSO BEEN CRAFTED WITH A RATHER UNUSUAL SHAPE IN RELATION TO OTHERS I'VE DEALT WITH, SINCE THE RIM IS ELEVATED AND THEN TILTED INWARD

STAMPS/MARKS ETC : THE DISH IS NOT MARKED OR STAMPED

CONDITION : A SMALL PIECE UPON THE TILTED RIM HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED. THIS RESULTED IN A HAIRLINE UPON CLOSE EXAMINATION. ASIDE FROM THIS THE DISH IS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO CRAZING, DAMAGES, CHIPS ETC

SIZE : 1.8cm HEIGHT OF RIM.....8.8cm DIAMETER OF BASE.....13.2cm DIAMETER OF RIM
