Thank you for viewing. This is a 38cm window-painted Imari-style plate with a pomegranate design from the Geishu Hai-gama Kotani-yaki kiln. It's an excellent piece of pottery with a vibrant cobalt blue color and an approachable feel, created using the Meiji era inban (stencil printing) technique, rather than hand-painting. About Kotani-yaki: In the early Meiji era, a kiln was opened in Kotani, Takaya Village, Kamo District, Geishu Hiroshima Domain (present-day Kotani-cho, Hiroshima City), imitating the techniques of Iyo-no-kuni Tobe-yaki. It was a phantom kiln that operated for about a dozen years. Originally, it seems that perfect products were not always produced, and even the dyed pottery has a rough finish. It appears that even pieces with kiln flaws were sold as finished products, which led to the kiln's closure in a short period. Size: Diameter: Approximately 38.0cm x H approximately 5.2cm There are signs of wear and tear, such as scratches and stains, due to age. Please understand that this is an antique item. Please note that the color of the product may differ slightly from the photos.
