A pair of fine Japanese Arita Kakiemon-style bowls, late Edo - early Meiji period

Each bowl delicately potted to form an oval-shaped flower with slender pointed petals, the interior with additional moulded petal designs and painted in soft red, yellow, blue and turquoise green to depict clusters of ripe pomegranates and flowerheads sprouting from leafy branches, the exterior with a butterfly hovering near an additional foliate spray
