Japanese Porcelain Ware Bowl, Fitzhugh-Style Rust Florals — Hand-Decorated in Hong Kong, A.C.F.
A striking decorator bowl in the Fitzhugh-revival style — rust-orange peony and chrysanthemum sprays with underglaze-blue rockwork accents, set within a trellis-patterned border broken by scrolling blue cartouches, each centered with a small orange floral spray. The pattern deliberately echoes 18th-century Chinese export porcelain, though this piece is a later homage: Japanese-made porcelain blanks, hand-decorated in Hong Kong, backstamped "Japanese Porcelain Ware, Decorated in Hong Kong, A.C.F." — a well-documented mark dating this piece to the last quarter of the 20th century.
Measuring 9⅜" in diameter and 1½" deep, the bowl presents in clean condition with no chips or cracks. A lovely decorative or serving piece for anyone drawn to the Chinese export aesthetic without the antique price tag.
