Japanese Kutani porcelain bowl decorated in gilt and overglaze polychrome enamels with a scene depicting two figures seated outdoors conversing under a tree. A geometric band interspersed with white flowers decorates the interior rim. There are fine "ao tsubu" (green dot) accents. The exterior is decorated on opposing sides with a prominent yellow flower and ribbon pattern. The base is signed in red "Kutani made." Believed to date from the early Showa Period (circa 1926 - 1935). Measures 9 1/2" diameter x 2 3/4" high. Very good overall condition with virtually no wear to the gilt or enamel. One of the flowers on the interior band has been overpainted to disguise a production flaw.
