Thank you for viewing. Item No. 753 Price reduced. 35,500 yen → 35,000 yen Available for sale from one piece. The design of the button in the center of the plate is different for each piece. Please compare them. 1️⃣ This is an "Old Imari Sometsuke Tako Karakusa Botan (peony) Mon Nagazara (long rectangular plate)" from the mid-Edo period. There are no cracks or chips. Width: 21cm. 2️⃣ For fans of Old Imari pottery, this long plate is a must-have. It's heavy and has a good overall tone balance of calm black and white sometsuke (blue and white). 3️⃣ The base color is bluish-gray. This is a significant difference from the pure white of modern tableware, and it's the color of Old Imari. Please take your time to appreciate it. 4️⃣ The popular Tako Karakusa (octopus arabesque) is painted on the base. It's clearly different from the thin and overly detailed Tako Karakusa of the Meiji era. 5️⃣ The button in the center has a good balance of placement and a modern, dynamic feel. It's a piece that's good for both use and display. 6️⃣ On the back, Karakusa (arabesque) is written on all four sides. The "Fukichojun" (wealth and longevity) inside the kodai (foot) proves that it is a high-level piece. It is said that commoners were not allowed to use it. 7️⃣ Size: Width 21 x 11cm Height 3.5cm *Please read my profile.
