Kikuhō (菊峰) Marked Arita-Attributed Hotaru-de Floral Porcelain Rice Bowl
THB 268.13
A refined white-porcelain Japanese rice bowl with a softly flared profile and blue-lined stepped foot. Pale pink blossoms and green foliage decorate the exterior, while four small flower-like hotaru-de translucent motifs punctuate the interior. The underside bears a blue 菊峰 (likely Kikuhō/Kikuho) mark. Closely matching online listings describe comparable examples as Arita ware and Kikuhō-kiln work, but the present bowl has no accompanying box, label, or documented provenance; therefore, the Arita and kiln attributions remain probable rather than certain. No dimensions or weight are stated because none were supplied.

Object details
- Condition
- Very good
No obvious chips, cracks, restorations, or major glaze loss are visible in the supplied views. The exposed foot edge shows light tan spotting or accumulated handling/age-related residue. Close inspection of the rim, pierced areas, and interior under strong light is still recommended. - Noted imperfections
- No definite damage is visible in the photographs; light discoloration/soiling is visible around the foot rim.
- Origin
- Probably Japan, plausibly Arita, Saga Prefecture; this is an attribution supported by closely matching marketplace listings rather than proven by the photographs alone.
- Kiln / maker
- Kikuhō / Kikuho (菊峰), attributed from the base mark; possibly a kiln or workshop name.
- Estimated era
- Probably late Shōwa to early Heisei period, circa 1970–1999; dating is tentative.
