1920s Noritake Morimura Desert Scene Bonbon Dish

1920s Noritake Morimura Desert Scene Bonbon Dish with gilded scalloped edge. Beautifully hand painted with a vibrantly coloured desert scene. I have been unable to track down the pattern number, and I can’t find another for sale. The style of back mark suggests it was manufactured in the 1920s.

Approximate Dimensions:

• Diameter top: 14cm
• Diameter Base: 6.5cm
• Height: 3.5cm

In very good condition with slight fading to the gilding and paint. The surface has a few surface scratches and scuffs. A nice piece for the Noritaké collector or makes a striking soap dish or trinket dish for the hall/entryway or lounge.

Backmark

The wreath was designed from the crest of the Morimuras.

Early, 1900s-1930s, Noritake pieces are marked with the M in a wreath for the Morimura Brothers.
