Set Of Two Antique Asian Decorative Bowls. Porcelain. Over 100 years Old.

Set of two extremely old Asian decorative bowls. Well over 100 years old. Hand painted and brought back from Japan. These have been in my possession for over forty years and they were over 100 years old when I purchased them. They are six inches in diameter. The edges are scalloped and etched in a tannish gold. They are decorated with hand paintings of Japanese wise men to Royalty. There is gold Chinese scroll work around the top inside of bowls. The scholars are painted in reds , greens and gold with touches of black. There is fading to the porcelain and wear to the gold edging on these bowls. There is also a brown wear spot on the inside bottoms of one. All of this is to be expected of true antiques of this age and only adds to their charm. They are beautiful displayed on stands and also beautiful hung on a wall. The backs of each bowl are decorated with small painted circles. They are unsigned and in exactly the condition I purchased them in. Purchased from a high end Asian antique dealer who was a dear friend of mine many years ago. I love these. They have a charm that I can’t put into words.
