I am selling these items to organize my collection. The mark on the foot rim is the character "筒江" (Tsutsue) written in a stylized form within a double frame, and is painted in sometsuke (blue and white). These were made at the Tsutsue kiln in Yamauchi-cho, Arita, and are a rare example of Ko-Imari ware that bears the kiln's name. I believe these are high-quality Ko-Imari plates with octopus arabesque designs, in terms of the sometsuke, design, and the quality of the firing. Diameter: Approximately 14.5 cm Height: Approximately 4.5 cm Both plates have some "new" (hairline cracks), but are generally in good condition without cracks or chips. Please consider this item with the understanding that it is an antique.
