Japanese Meiji period Genroku porcelain hibachi of cylindrical form finely decorated around the circumference in underglaze blue plovers flying over crashing foaming waves set against a white ground. The base holds the mark of “Tominaga Genroku sei” together with the Genroku Studio mark. Tominaga Genroku (1859-1920) opened the Genroku kiln in Saga Prefecture in 1888 with a goal of producing fine quality porcelain. Following his death, the kiln survived under his sons until at least 1934. Measures about 15 1/2" diameter x 9 1/4” high and weighs 19 lbs. Circa 1900. Very good overall condition with typical minor production imperfections. There is an old brown hairline on the interior porcelain liner of the rim. From a Sun City, Arizona estate.
