VGC ANTIQUE JAPANESE MEIJI Cloisonne BIRDS/FLOWERS 14.25 CHARGER/PLATE A

  

THIS DELIGHTFUL AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE, ANTIQUE JAPANESE MEIJI CLOISONNE LARGE PLATE OR CHARGER, IS IN VERY GOOD USED CONDITION. THE FRONT OF THE PLATE HAS ONLY A FEW MINIMAL TINY "PITTING" MARKS SHOWING ON CLOSE INSPECTION. THERE IS A PATCH OF CRAZING LINES IN THE ENAMEL - SEE PHOTO 7 - BUT NO ENAMEL IS MISSING. IN THE SAME AREA THE RIM HAS ACQUIRED A VERY TINY PUSH UPWARDS - NOT TOO OBVIOUS AT ALL.

THE BACK OF THE PLATE IS FINE. I WOULD THINK THE PLATE WAS MADE AROUND 1900. IT MEASURES 14.25 INCHES OR 36.3CMS MAX IN DIAMETER. PLEASE EXAMINE ALL OF THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY.

AND MANY OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST SUCH AS SILVER, SILVER PLATE, CRYSTAL, CUTLERY AND CANTEENS, SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK. All our items are packaged to a very high standard using polystyrene chips made from re-cycled material and new bubble wrap to protect from damage. We also use brand new good quality cardboard boxes.
