An 18th century Japanese Gold Imari 'Quail' plate, 18th century, of fluted circular form, painted to the centre with a roundel depicting two quail, with a border of scrolling foliage and fauna, the underside bearing label for Pater Gratia Oriental Art, 21.5cm wide, with a similarly decorated tea bowl and saucer (3)
PROVENANCE: From the collection of Dr Christopher & Mrs Helen Girton
The plate shows two hairline cracks each approximately 6cm long running in from the rim to the foot, with further fine feathering hairlines around the rim. All three pieces show the odd small pit and frit, and surface wear throughout including surface scratches and rubbing to the gilt highlights, but no obvious chips, crazing or evidence of restoration.
