This is a small plate I purchased at an antique market. I liked the depiction of the persimmon tree, so I brought it home. Actually, the bulging leaves are indented. The pale colors of the sometsuke (blue and white) are also lovely. It says "有14," so it's likely a controlled pottery piece. Signs of use. There are scratches and adhesions. Please check the images carefully. Size: Width: 11 cm Height: 2.5 cm Controlled pottery refers to porcelain and ceramics produced under government economic control from the Pacific War through the post-war period. According to the Excite Blog's "Controlled Pottery Illustrated Book," it refers to controlled pottery produced from around 1940 to around 1946. These were made as "substitutes" to compensate for the shortage of metal resources, and also under restrictions on the production items, quantity, and production areas of everyday tableware. The back of the products often has "control numbers" and "producer identification symbols" indicating the place of production and the factory, and many of them reflect the quality of the time while also indicating the producer.
