My brother knows my love for collecting old things. Yesterday he gave me this Japanese bowl. He found it in his local Charity shop.
 |
| This is how it looks stood up on the coffee table. |
 |
| Underneath the bowl is a green crest/stamp which says: Hand Painted, a letter M and Nippon. |
 |
| The picture inside the bowl. There is a white swan on a lake and there's an idyllic cottage behind the trees. I think its beautiful. I love Japanese gardens and its good to gaze at the picture and dream of going one day to visit Japan, especially on a day like today when its throwing it down here in not very sunny Ireland.
I looked up the green letter M on the old tinternet and T'web. Apparently the Morimura brothers in Japan used it since 1911 on their pottery up until 1920.
It's incredible that this bowl could be nearly one hundred years old and its still survived. I saw one one similar on a Canadian Ebay site for 65 Dollars!
What a nice find. I'll put in the cabinet with the rest of our collections. I think we are related to Wombles! Have you found anything that you treasure from a car boot sale or charity shop?

I would like that bowl myself. I recently bought a wool blanket from a charity shop. £3. in the woolen mill the same one is £35! ha ha got to love that! p.s. I have divided more plants today. lets see if they survive
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like the bowl Sol. The blanket sounds a great find. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe plants will survive if they are watered and kept away from full sun. Its raining here today. Just been out to the cold frame and found twenty rooted cuttings. I potted them on and put them out in the soft rain. Thanks Sol.
Beautiful looking bowl. What a find. Nice that your brother gave it to you!
ReplyDeleteHi LA. It was nice of my brother to give me the bowl. I am glad you like it. They made things proper and beautiful way back when.
DeleteThanks!
I like Japanese paintings like this. Very delicate and always with trees and water. I have never seen a bowl, only a tea set like this. I have nothing of interest from a charity shop.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel. Yes the Japanese love their trees and water. I would love to visit there. I love Japanese gardens. I found a book published in 1946 the other day. Its another great find and subject for a future blog post. Thanks Rachel.
ReplyDeleteEr... if ever you get tired of looking at that bowl I would willing take it! Seriously, I always thought Japanese and Chinese china is a must-have.
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie. There is plenty old stuff out there. You have just got to look for it. I love Oriental china and would love to visit Japan especially. Peasholm Park in Scarborough is the nearest I have ever got to Japan. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteHello Guys!!!
ReplyDeleteI am agdazak I live in Ohio USA I’m 40 Years old, am so happy I got my blank ATM card from Thomas Oscar. My blank ATM card can withdraw $4,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about $10,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it because it is blank just your PIN will be on it, it is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on.I am really glad and happy i met phantom hackers because I met Five persons before him and they could not help me. But am happy now Thomas hackers sent the card through DHL and I got it in two days. Get your own card from him right now, he is giving it out for small fee to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught or traced. I’m happy and grateful to phantom hacks because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries that is the good news Thomas Oscar email address is thomasoscarblackatmcard@gmail.com
