Description

The listing, Vintage porcelain dish (ashtray?) has ended.

This is another find from an estate sale boxed lot that I got several years ago. I looked up the mark on the bottom and found that it was used by Maruyama Toki Yamashiro Ryuhei, Seto, Aichi province circa 1920-1930. I found many pictures of their work, but none of this sweet dove. There are no cracks or chips and no crazing. The only damage is some of the gold on the front rim between the wing tips is worn away. There has been a debate in my home on whether this is a soap dish or an ashtray. This is almost 3" tall 5.25" wide and 4" front to back. Really a pretty piece.

Questions & Comments

Well, I just read that, I must have been half asleep when I wrote it. It was the mark, not the dish that was used. It (the dish) was made by Maruyama Toki Yamashiro Ryuhei, Seto, Aichi Province circa 1920-1930 according to my research into the mark on the bottom. I hope that clarifies things.

Come on home, that's what I did after nearly 30 years. The hills are still green in the summer, colorful in the fall and beautiful year round. Thanks for looking, fanned you back.
