This is an Imari ware (Ko-Imari) blue and white landscape dish, a type of porcelain made in Hizen (present-day Saga and Nagasaki prefectures) during the Edo period. It features a style called "sometsuke," where mountains, buildings, clouds, and other elements are depicted in a single color of indigo. It is characterized by a thick foot (the base of the dish), inheriting the early Imari style, which was designed to prevent collapse during firing. In those days in Japan, it was called "Imari ware" because it was shipped from Imari Port, but it was made in the same region as the current Arita ware. This is a small Ko-Imari sometsuke landscape dish. It has a feel that evokes the passage of time and can be enjoyed as an antique. ○ Size: Please allow for errors Diameter: Approximately 14.5cm Height: Approximately 4.2cm ○ No smokers, no pets, and we pay close attention to hygiene.
