This is a rare find. It is a handled candy dish or trinket dish. It hand painted with a pretty pink and violet flowers. It is accented in actual silver on the handle and hand embellished silver vines around the dish.

The dish is 5 5/8" x 5 5/8", there is some light wear to the silver. There is one firing dip which is fully glazed, and one very, very, tiny chip that unless you were looking for it or ran your fingers along the edge, you would never see. It is 100+ years old and in great condition for its age.

Pottery Mark "H", "Hand painted Japan", Tentative date: 1920-40. Mark attributable the Hotta Yu Shoten & Co. Pottery in operation from 1920 to 1947. The logo is in fact a depiction of cherry blossom.

The shop selling the wares was the Hotta Yu Co. The use of the word "Shoten" means "shop which sells wares fired from its own kilns". The pottery mark is likely to be from the 1920-30's. The use of NIPPON was generally discontinued after 1921.
