Vintage Japanese Plate

A beautiful antique porcelain saucer or small dish decorated with a hand-painted East Asian-style motif featuring a red deer, a blue and red stylized pine tree, flying birds, and green grassy hills.

Key features:

• Design Motif: A red or auburn deer stands beneath a blue and red stylized tree (reminiscent of pine or prunus motifs), accompanied by small red birds or bats flying overhead and green painted ground washes.
• Style: The color palette and hand-painted aesthetic draw inspiration from traditional Asian export porcelain, Kakiemon styles, or historic European and English interpretations (such as 19th-century Spode or similar earthenware/porcelain patterns).

Based on the hand-painted execution and style of the decoration, this saucer shares visual traits with Japanese export wares or European adaptations inspired by the traditional Kakiemon style. It’s 5 l.5 inches in diameter.
