This is an Imari Kinrande plate, approximately ∅18cm in diameter, made from the late Edo period to the Meiji era. While five-sun and seven-sun plates are common, six-sun plates are, in my opinion, rare. The center features a dragon holding a hōju (sacred jewel), surrounded by pine and bamboo. #kotosya Recommended Imari ◆Size Diameter ∅18.0cm x Height 3.0cm ◆Scratches and Condition There are no noticeable scratches or chips, but as this is an antique item, there may be minor scratches and wear on the gold paint.
