This is a Japanese Imari style bowl that appears older than many we have seen locally. It has multiple base rings that we do not regularly see. It has flowers, trees, what appears to be fruit, scroll motifs and other design elements. We do not know what the inscription in the center states. it seems to be blue underglaze with iron red, orange, green and pale peach overglaze. The colors are very bright. There is no maker mark. The outer sides feature a very nice floral and leaf motif and there may be some inscription in the marks on the underside. It weighs 2 lb. 2 oz., measures 9-7/8 inches in diameter and is 2-1/2 inches tall. We would certainly appreciate any thoughts as to where made, maker, age/era, description of medium, value etc. Thank you for any feedback you can share.
