This is a piece from Aokou Gama, a popular Kutani ware manufacturer. It uses white porcelain with comb-like patterns and features a charming depiction of a white-eye bird, expressed with the delicate painting and brilliant colors of Kutani ware, making it a delightful piece. The white ring around the eye, which gives the bird its name [Mejiro (white-eye)], is a distinctive feature. Because they have the habit of perching on branches in pairs, chirping "chee, chee" to each other, they are considered auspicious birds that value relationships. This is a convenient size, perfect for soy sauce dishes or small plates. Size: 11cm diameter, 2cm height Material: Porcelain Brand new and unused (^^)
