This hand-painted Japanese faience platter, dating from the early 20th century, presents a wide, shallow form with a subtly scalloped, undulating rim.

The dominant color is a rich vermilion red, featured prominently in the large floral motifs, a stylized arched bridge, and the rim itself.

Subtle variations in the painted details, visible in close-up images, confirm its artisanal, one-of-a-kind character. The platter is free from restoration, and its condition is very good—bearing only minor, age-appropriate signs of use and authentic patina typical of ceramics from this period. The platter evokes the spirit of early 20th-century Japanese artistry—a world where color, gesture, and light were central to daily life. Vermilion red, like the glow of a rising sun, spreads across the surface, while the floral designs recall lush riverside gardens in full bloom. The undulating rim traces a gentle silhouette, as if recounting tales of nature’s transience and the shifting seasons. Each detail, from asymmetrical compositions to the expressive rendering of leaves, hints at the artisan’s hand, imparting an individual
