Vintage Japanese Famille Noire Plate 8.5" — Bird & Blossom, Yellow Butterfly

Description

View Vintage Japanese Famille Noire Plate 8.5" — Bird & Blossom, Yellow Butterfly with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Vintage Japanese famille noire porcelain plate, 8.5" diameter, hand-painted on a rich black ground. The center depicts a long-tailed exotic bird (paradise flycatcher style) perched on a flowering prunus branch, surrounded by peonies in blue, coral, and turquoise. The wide border is a departure from the more common cobalt banding — done in sunny yellow with alternating hand-painted butterflies and small floral clusters, giving the piece a livelier, more decorative feel than typical famille noire examples.
