Diameter: 15cm Height: 4cm This is an Edo period Ko-Imari sometsuke (blue and white) namasu dish featuring auspicious motifs of pine, bamboo, plum, and peony flowers drawn with delicate lines. The sides of the dish are decorated with arabesque patterns and peonies. It was carefully hand-painted by artisans. When held, it has a smooth, soft texture, and the dish itself is thin, giving a delicate impression. Because it is easy to match with any dish, it will bring a gorgeous color to the table even when used for guests. The peony is considered the king of flowers and represents happiness, wealth, nobility, and luxury. As an auspicious flower that heralds a good harvest, "zuika" (auspicious flower), it has been depicted as a symbol of happiness and wealth. In addition, the "tan" (red) in peony means the elixir of immortality, so it also has the meaning of immortality and longevity. Also, since ancient times, it has been considered "an auspicious flower that wards off evil spirits," and it is said to have various meanings such as "good health," "longevity," "warding off evil," and "mental and physical stability." The surface, back, and sides are all in very good condition with no scratches or chips. As a taste created in nature...
