This is a plate with a circus elephant design, made with a type of transfer printing called "zu-gawari inban-zometsuke" from the Meiji to Taisho eras. The adorable design features three elephants arranged between radiating stripes, creating a sense of dynamism as if a circus curtain is opening. There are areas where iron glaze has overflowed on the inside, which can be appreciated as a scene created by chance within the kiln. Due to the manufacturing techniques of the time, there are distortions, printing misalignments, kiln marks, and minor chips, but we hope that those who understand these as characteristics of antique items will purchase them with appreciation. There are no cracks or chips, and it can still be used as a small plate today. If anyone is interested, please feel free to inquire. 【Size】 Diameter: Approximately 11.0cm, Height: Approximately 2.3cm This is a set of 5 plates, but I have 4 more in stock. H31
