Description: | CRE UNKNOWN; (19th century) This is a Japanese fish bowl from the Arita Kiln (late 19th century). The design on this bowl copies that seen on Chinese 15th century porcelains. Along with the Chinese kilns at Jingdezen, Japanese manufacturers revived early Chinese styles to meet the demand for blue and white in the West during the late 19th century. They were sold via such outlets as Liberty?s in London. The inside of this bowl is painted with fish and the outside with flower scrolls. This item is part of the collection of over 330 pieces of Chinese ceramics and approximately 15 items of Japanese ceramics from the estate of James McNeill Whistler, gifted and bequeathed by the artist's sister-in-law, Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), in 1935 and 1958.
