This is a five-inch plate with a phoenix design, purchased from an antique art dealer. I liked the elaborate design and brought it home with me. The highlight is the phoenix in the center. The twisted petals draw your eyes into the center. The phoenix is very carefully drawn. The cloud arabesque pattern creates a fantastic atmosphere. The border pattern is arabesque with circles. Because of the lines and circles, it also looks like a "yoraku" pattern (a type of Buddhist decorative element). This is also carefully drawn to match the edge. The body of the plate has flowers depicted on it. The growth of the flowers from small buds to blooming is depicted. It's stylish. There is a mark on the bottom of the foot. It was said to be from around the Meiji era. There appears to be a crack-like mark on the foot, but it may be a kiln scar. Other than that, there are no noticeable large scratches. There are only slight scuffs. Please take a good look at the images. Size: Width: Approximately 16 cm Height: Approximately 3 cm
