Talavera Style Large Size Pedestal Fruit Bowl Signed "Becerra" Mexico Circa 1995

The mark on the underneath (see image) indicates that this spittoon is of Japanese Imari porcelain, manufactured circa 1880, and made specifically for the American market for the preponderance of bars and saloons at that time.
