Antique‎ Nippon E-OH Hand Painted Violet Dishes Pair Yellow Gold Rim 1891-1921

These two dishes stop you with their color. Deep purple violets with bright white centers tumble across a warm yellow ground that deepens to amber at the center — the kind of hand painting that has real presence even on a small piece. Both are marked on the back: China E-OH Hand Painted Nippon, placing them firmly in the 1891–1921 antique window when Japanese export porcelain was at its creative peak. The scalloped rim has two small tab extensions that give each dish a lovely, intentional shape — pretty on their own and practical for passing at the table. Gold rim on both, with light wear consistent with their age. Please see photos for measurements and condition details including rim wear. A lovely pair for display, a violet collector, or anyone who appreciates genuine antique hand painting.
