Nikko Ming Tree Bowl

Nikko “Ming Tree” Bowl — a graceful blue-and-white porcelain piece reflecting Japan’s 20th-century fusion of traditional aesthetics with Western market demand. The “Ming Tree” pattern, a stylized adaptation of Chinese export motifs, features floral branches and decorative borders inspired by Ming Dynasty porcelain.

Founded in 1908, Nikko became one of Japan’s premier ceramic producers, especially known for its durable and elegant dinnerware lines exported to the West. This bowl, with its double phoenix backstamp, is emblematic of that era and remains collectible for both its beauty and cultural hybridity.

Ideal for both display and service, it carries the quiet sophistication and craftsmanship that define Nikko’s mid-century offerings
