Kutani ware? Perhaps... The gold coloring around the edges is almost gone due to the passage of time (Image 17) Color peeling due to wear and deterioration of the brown glaze on the edges Color fading, unevenness, and irregularities from initial kiln firing Variations in the shade of the brown glaze around the edges are visible. Although there are no noticeable stains, chips, or cracks, there is a small chip on the underside of the corner of two plates (Image 16) If you have any other concerns about details, please check the images for confirmation. The auspicious wave and plover design is depicted, and a dark brown glaze is applied to the edges. Fine brushstrokes of gold coloring are visible depending on the viewing angle and light.
