This is a lovely Nippon vanity covered powder jar or trinket box with its original thick, heavy gold gilt enamel, moriage raised gold balls going around the perimeter and beautifully hand painted pink floral design completely done by one artist's “hand”; not passed down the line where there are different hands doing pink flower, green flower, leaves, perimeter highlights etc.... It also has beautiful long curved legs. Impeccable early hand crafting. Fine quality unglazed bisque. Nice, soft, pretty colors with strong accents. Strong black enameled rectangular early 1920s Art Deco geometric borders. As your rarely see old Nippon Morimura with strong black geometric enameling this jar was possibly a transitional piece to test the waters for future Western targeted Noritake dinnerware which regularly had the strong black outlining in the design.
