Antique Plate: Imari Akae Ring-Shaped Plate with Wave, Plover, and Deer Motif This is a ring-shaped flat plate painted with Imari Akae (red-painted) and sometsuke (blue and white underglaze). The gentle patterns evoke a natural scene, featuring plovers dancing between waves and deer with serene expressions. Plovers have been cherished as auspicious motifs symbolizing "marital harmony" and "family safety," while deer represent "longevity" and "abundance." The combination of red, blue, and green colors is beautiful, and you can feel the subtle variations in the hand-painted lines and the aged character of the piece. The ring-shaped rim is soft, making it suitable as a side plate or a dessert plate, and also as a decorative plate. As it is an antique item, there are some scratches and wear due to age, but please enjoy it as part of the antique aesthetic. Size: Diameter 21.5cm, Height 3cm Thank you.
