Vintage Hand Painted Colorful Love Birds in Flowering Tree Lustreware Bowl

Collectibles : China, Porcelain

 

Here is a great lustre ware bowl with a fabulous graphic of two colorful sleepy lovebirds perched in a sparse yet flowering (abstract) tree. The flowers are delightful five-pointed stars with a stamped circular line and dot design in their centers.

This was made in Japan (stamped on the bottom). (The gray spot on the side is just a bit of the security sticker left from the antique mall.)

The upper rim is smooth, the rim of the BOTTOM under the bowl, however, has a rough edge and an interior chip. There are also a couple areas where the luster has worn off; we think it adds charm; but we are pricing low accordingly.

Great color palette (copper, navy & blue of lustre); the birds have green faces and wings, yellow bellies and back of their heads, red underbelly, and blue tails, the star-shaped flowers are white, the branches are blue, and the leaves (of course) are green. Wonderful, vibrant, and bird-crazy in-vogue now for home decor.
