I am currently cleaning up my parents' house. My mother loved and collected pottery. I also like pottery, but I don't have much knowledge of old pieces, so I ask that those who understand them purchase this item. (I cannot answer questions) I was told that this piece was passed down from my father's family. It is inscribed with "大明萬曆年製 (Daming Wanli Nian Zhi)", which indicates that it was made during the reign of the Wanli Emperor, the 14th emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1573-1620). Ko-sometsuke is a type of Chinese sometsuke porcelain that was loved by Japanese tea masters. It is characterized by "mushikui" (worm-eaten) areas where the glaze is missing on the edges, exposing the unglazed body. Multiple holes, which appear to be "mushikui," can be seen on this piece. I think it's a very easy-to-use size plate. For your guests. Also, how about using it as a serving dish for New Year's osechi cuisine? I believe there are no cracks or chips. It is a very old item. Please purchase this item if you understand its nature. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. I will not offer a discount. The shipping method may be changed. 231
