Size: Approximately 15cm in diameter, approximately 4.5cm in height. This is a pair of two Nabemono dishes with octopus arabesque patterns from the mid-Edo period. They are in excellent condition with no damage. When it comes to long-selling arabesque patterns, it's probably the octopus arabesque. It's amazing that it has been loved continuously since the Edo period and even today. The arabesque on the back has a carefully drawn outline with dami filling, and the inside of the foot has the inscription "冨貴長春" (Fuki Choshun - meaning "wealth, honor, and longevity"). It's interesting that it's written in very small characters. They say that personality comes out in handwriting, so I think it's also fun to imagine what kind of craftsman put the brush to it. The detailed and even octopus arabesque is impressive and has a timeless beauty. If anyone is looking for these, how about them? We are waiting for purchases from those who understand old items.
