A rare and exquisite example of "Old Noritake" porcelain, this tri-footed nut or candy bowl dates back to the 1911–1921 era. Hand-painted during Japan’s transitional export period, it features the prestigious Blue Komaru (Spoke) mark on the base. The design showcases vibrant floral artistry framed by a deep cobalt blue border, finished with intricate Moriage (raised enamel) beading and three elegant gilded scroll feet.
A Piece of History: This is a genuine antique (over 100 years old) from the "Nippon Era" of Japanese craftsmanship. It represents a time when every detail was hand-applied by master artisans before the age of mass production.
The delicate Moriage work and heavy gold gilding on the feet provide a tactile, luxury feel that modern porcelain cannot replicate.
Early Noritake is a staple of South African antique collecting. Its value remains stable, making it a sophisticated addition to any glass cabinet or heritage collection.
 
While it is a highly collectible display piece, it is also functional for the modern home:
Perfect for serving luxury nuts, truffles, or artisanal candies at a dinner party.
A stunning vessel for holding fine jewelry, rings, or crystals on a dressing table.
Its elevated "footed" design makes it a standout decorative bowl for an entryway console or coffee table.
An ideal high-end gift for weddings, anniversaries, or for the serious collector of Japanese "Nippon-style" porcelain.
