Nippon Era Cake Plate I E & C CO Hand Painted Roses Japan Raised Gold early 1900

Description: Nippon Era Cake Plate I E & C CO Hand Painted Roses Japan Raised Gold early 1900 Nippon Era Cake Plate I E & C CO Hand Painted Roses early 1900 Japan Raised Gold A beautiful Hand Painted NIPPON ERA IE & C Co CAKE PLATE with extensive raised gold and tiny gold Moriage Beads and 7 Cartouches of Roses from Japan The period of operation for I.E. & C. Co. is 1885-1925. Much of their product seems to have been exported to UK, Australia and New Zealand. Reference authors speculate that they chose not to register their trademark for export to the United States, due to not wishing to compete with Morimura Brothers. Also, the meticulous attention to detail and a predominance of Art Noveau styling suggests a beginning in the early Meiji period and ending with the Art Deco era. After 1925, I.E. & C. Co. seems to be connected to Meito China in Nagoya, Japan. David Spain, in Collecting Noritake A to Z Art Deco & More, points out that the change of the word Nippon to the word Japan occurred as early as 1908 for exports to UK, Australia, and New Zealand. On this piece, the mark is a circular wreath with "JAPAN" written inside the wreath above "I. E. & C. Co." The "& C." is written inside a diamond with "CO" below the diamond. (See the photo.) Both the whiteness of the porcelain and the mark, because of the fancy script on the H in the word Hand, indicate this piece is from the early 1900's. John Henley of the Noritake Collectors Guild has excellent articles about I.E. & C. Co. written in 2008. This handpainting is so precise. There are seven cartouches each of which contains 3 pink roses with very stylistic green leaves. These are partitioned by extensive scroll work formed by raised gold lines and tiny gold beading. This gold work extends 1 1/4 inches down into the plate from the rim. Around the edge of the rim is a wide band of gold. The center of the cake plate is the pure glistening white of the porcelain. There is also a thin gold band around the foot of the plate. The cake plate has a diameter of 9 7/8 inches and is 1 1/4 inches high.While this plate is classified as used, we can find no chips, nicks, hairlines, rubbings, or repairs to this stunning piece. We see no utensil marks on the plate. When you hold the plate up to the light, you can see through it well enough to see the shadow of your fingers on the back. It has a beautiful ring to it when you set it on the table. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description. The stand was used as a photo prop and is not part of this listing.
