This is a popular radish-motif bowl from Fushime ware. Three radishes are depicted on both the inside and outside, with the leaves painted in brown and blue using gosu glaze and rusty glaze, beautifully highlighting the white of the radishes. The size is just right, making it suitable for use as a confectionery bowl or as a serving bowl for kaiseki cuisine. The accompanying box has the inscription "Fushime ware bowl" on the lid's surface and "Unzen zo" (made by Unzen) on the underside. A hairei-in (a seal of appreciation, a gourd-shaped Unzen seal) is stamped on the inside of the foot. *Hairei-in (Seal of Appreciation): The second-generation Unzen (1770-1821) received the name "Unzen" and the gourd-shaped seal from Lord Fumai, who favored him.
