Circa 1760



References: ref. Hurlbutt ‘Bow’ 1926, plate 4 for a very similar kakiemon decorated piece, in his collection. The original restoration is very interesting, as it was done at the factory, and is a plug of applied slip, tooled to give it an organic appearance, and

Condition: One scallop shell broken & restuck with area of infill, minor losses to shells, curious original factory repair to one interior with a large plug of green ‘weed’ luted over a hole.
