A Set of Five Blue and White Reticulated Porcelain Cricket Cages in the Japanese Style - A group of five porcelain cricket cages, designed in the Japanese blue and white tradition. The set includes four hexagonal vessels and one square-sided vessel, all featuring intricate reticulated or pierced lattice-work panels to the sides. Each cage is topped with a large circular aperture. The white porcelain bodies are decorated with hand-painted cobalt blue designs, including scrolling foliate motifs, floral sprays, and geometric diaper patterns along the rims and base. The variations in the intensity of the blue pigment indicate hand-painted application. No factory marks or backstamps are visible on the pieces. Several items bear orange adhesive labels and a small white numerical sticker.
