Rich in color and ornate in detail, this Wheelock & Co. Nippon bowl is a standout piece from the golden era of Japanese export porcelain. Commissioned by Wheelock for Western markets, this bowl features intricate floral medallions, cobalt edging, and heavy gilding — hallmarks of late Meiji to early Taishō decorative arts.
The ‘Tokio’ mark, combined with the Wheelock ‘lock’ logo, enhances both historical and collectible significance. These pieces were crafted for a growing Western appetite for exotic elegance and Japanese craftsmanship.
Perfect for display or as a centerpiece in curated collections of antique porcelain.
