Ko-Imari Sometsuke Large Plate Ware-e Hand Bird and Flower Design Edo Period 30cm This is a large Imari ware plate from the late Edo period (late 17th century to early 18th century). It features a bird and flower design in the center, Ware-e hand around the rim, and a gourd arabesque pattern on the back, a typical design of Ko-Imari. Approximately 23cm in diameter. It's a decorative plate size and has a strong presence. There are chips, hairlines, and repairs on the rim, but the overall appearance is good. How about it for your collection or appreciation? Although I store it with care, it is a very old item, so there may be some scratches that I could not confirm. Please keep the above in mind, check the photos, and make your purchase. Thank you for viewing.
