The inside features a vibrant floral and bird design on a yellow base with gold-colored Zuiun (auspicious clouds) and Seigaiha (wave pattern) motifs. The rim is decorated with blue granules and gold-colored arabesque patterns, giving it a luxurious framed-picture look. With a deep and rich landscape reminiscent of Ko-Kutani (Yoshidaya) design, it is both refined and gorgeous, a truly luxurious piece ^_^. ◉About Yoshidaya◉ A painting style created at the Yoshidaya kiln from 1824 to 1831. Toyoda Den'emon, a wealthy merchant who believed in the revival of Ko-Kutani, invested his private fortune and brilliantly etched his name in history, creating many masterpieces. Using the four colors other than the five colors of red (green, yellow, purple, and indigo), it features bold yet delicate line drawings, and a heavy, original painting style that uses a lot of blue and yellow to fill in the spaces. ※The colors may appear slightly different depending on the type of natural light or lighting. Please understand. Size: Approximately 18 cm in diameter, approximately 1.9 cm in height. Perfect as individual plates or serving plates for various dishes. Also suitable as Mukozuke (flat serving dishes) for serving sashimi, etc. These high-quality plates will brighten up your dining table (^^). Treasures from my parents' home. They were carefully stored in a tea box, so they are in unused, beautiful condition. There are no cracks, chips, or watermarks. For those who love tableware or are looking for something special, how about these? (^^). It's rare to find this pattern in the 6-inch medium plate size. Please understand that these items have been stored at home, and consider this before purchasing. Please forgive any original forming marks, uneven glaze, or minor storage scratches. There is no original box. They will be carefully packed with bubble wrap for shipping.
