Diamond-Shaped Corner-Cut Dish I understand this is Aizome Kutani from the early Edo period, 17th century. A camellia is painted on the inside, and arabesque patterns are drawn with ink-repellent techniques, using light and dark shades. There's a keyaki (Japanese zelkova) pattern on the corner-cut sections, which is quite stylish. The design on the sides (what is it?) is also very appealing, and the lipstick-red, iron-glazed rim is clearly visible and beautiful. How about using it as a serving dish, a bowl, or a flat side dish? It's also a convenient shape and size for a small plate. ⚫︎Size Approximately 15 cm at the longest point Approximately 12.5 cm at the shortest point * Sides not measured Height: Approximately 3.5 cm It's a very cool and wonderful piece, but it's a bit thin for everyday use, and I've only used it a few times. I'm listing it because I'm organizing my dish cabinet. Color: Blue Material: Ceramic Ko-Imari Sometsuke (underglaze blue) Sumihajiki (ink-repellent technique) Tetsuzai (iron red) Kurenishi (red rim)
