VTG \'20s Hand Painted Japan Porcelain Trinket Dish Cherry Blossoms Clover Shaped For Sale

For your consideration is this lovely porcelain trinket dish. This piece is marked on the underside \"Hand Painted Japan\" in red text, cherry blossoms on each side, all within a red rectangle. In 1924, the cherry blossom was subcontracted by the Nippon Toki Kasha Company to independent companies making porcelain for the USA market. Many different Japanese companies incorporated this into their own marks, and thus I was unable to ascertain the exact maker of the piece. The dish is shaped like a clover and has a little handle on one side. Within the dish are three hand painted pink cherry blossoms, with yellow centers, outlined in raised gold against some golden abstract designs. This piece has a robin egg blue rim outlined with gold with a gold edge. I did observe some gold loss, common for porcelain of this age and type. When I purchased the piece, I did not notice the little nips on the edge of the handle\'s underside. Additionally observed is a small divot on the base, it feels smooth as if it was created during the manufacturing process. The dish measures 7.25 inches long x 6.8 inches wide x 1 inch high. This is very dainty and sweet and perfect trinket dish for your boudoir.
