Simple In Form & Design, Beautifully Japanese In Style, This Basalt Dish Is Not Your Typical "NIPPON" Item We have always liked "NIPPON" porcelain and pottery and admired the highly decorated items that we came to recognize as "typically" Nippon. However, this dish, that we are now offering, is only the second black Basalt piece that we have ever found. It has an impressed "Made In Nippon" mark on the bottom, along with an impressed Japanese character mark below it. It probably dates to the early 1900's and it is quite different from other Nippon items which were made for the western market and tastes. The overall condition is very good. T are two small chips on the inside of the rim, a bit of edge wear on the outside rim in one area, one small sliver on the foot, a small chip on the corner of the top of the handle and several tiny nicks on the handle. This wear is consistant with the age of the dish and is hardly noticeable as the photos indicate. The base measures 3 5/8" in diameter and it is 2" high to the top of the dish. The opening on the top measures approximately 3 1/4" in diameter. We have been very careful in describing this piece. Please view the photos before bidding. These items are sold "as is". Thank you for viewing our auction. We hope this beautiful "NIPPON" Basalt Dish will be yours as the winning bidder.
