A vibrant,gorgeous,captivating Nippon Pitcher....filled with hand painted Ruby & Pink Poppies....lots of heavy gold ....the edges are scalloped and the handle is full with hand painted gold ~ a bit of wear commensurate with age and a couple firing pops mentioned for accuarcy ~ overall in excellent condition

Though unmarked,the porcelain is that of early Nippon,the bluish grey coloring of the porcelain as well as the translucent nature as you hold the piece to the light are but a couple tell tale signs that this is Nippon.....it is just stunning in real life,my pictures do not do its beauty justice...

It stands 6" tall to the top of the handle and 5 1/2" tall to the top of the spout,it is 6"w x 4 1/4" w with a circumference just a bit shy of 18" around....each step from the gold,to the applied handles,to the body of the vase itself and the hand painting requires a different and separate firing.....a great deal of time and thought went into the creation of this beauty....
