About the Item
A fine set of 4 Japanese Kutanti porcelain plates.
Each with a pair of painted maples leaves to the center in green, reds, and yellows. The rim with red
and green stripes.
Made in Kanazawa's Kousen kiln in 1946 and likely funded by the Economic
Scientific Section of the Supreme Commander of Allied Powers, whose General Headquarters were located in Tokyo. (General Headquarters, Supreme Commander of Allied Powers, Economic
Scientific Section)
With a dedication to the base of each that reads: 'William L. Bunting / Lt. Col. AC / 0-196377'
Lt. Col. William L. Bunting served under the command of Douglas McArthur in the Pacific and spent many years in Southeast Asia; his son Wilbur J. Bunting would later rise to the rank of Major General.
One of the plates additionally marked with G.H.Q-SCAP-E.S.S.-IW / Tokyo / Kanazawa / 18 June 1946.
We assume these plates were made to order.
Simply a wonderful set of historical Japanese Kutani plates!
