Japanese Kyoto Ware Ninsei-Style Tea Bowl Meiji Era Coloured Fan Design

An exquisite antique Japanese Kyoto ware tea bowl, crafted in the Ninsei style during the Meiji period (late 19th century). This elegant piece features a vividly hand-painted coloured fan pattern — a motif closely associated with the work of Nonomura Ninsei (active c. 1646–1677).

Meticulously executed by a skilled artisan, each brushstroke reflects the refined aesthetic and exceptional craftsmanship characteristic of Kyoto ceramics. The bowl is finished with a clear glaze that enhances both the vibrancy of the decoration and the smooth texture of the ceramic body.

A valuable addition to any collection of Japanese tea ware or Meiji-era porcelain, and a perfect piece for tea ceremony enthusiasts or admirers of traditional Japanese artistry.
