This is a sometsuke (blue and white) boat-shaped dish purchased from an antique art dealer. While chrysanthemum patterns on boat-shaped dishes are still seen today, this particular design is only found on older pieces. The top and bottom feature peony arabesque patterns. The large, eye-catching flowers on the left and right are stylized karahana (Chinese flower) patterns. The back of the body has floral arabesque patterns on all four sides. The mark is "Kaku-fuku" (square good fortune). It is thinly made. The period is said to be from the late Edo period to the Meiji period. There is a small chip on the rim. There appears to be a slight chip on the foot, but it's difficult to distinguish from kiln marks. Otherwise, it seems to be kiln marks. Please examine the images carefully.
