As Arita ware flourished as an industry, many kilns produced porcelain for export, resulting in somewhat refined and stylish Japanese plates. The works of "Hizen Arita Kiwame" are characterized by highly decorative designs influenced by the West, while based on traditional Arita ware techniques. The techniques of gold coloring and color painting are particularly wonderful. Size: Diameter 21cm x Height 2.5cm There are fine scratches and black spots, which are also a unique charm.
