Thank you for viewing. This item is estimated to be pottery from the late Edo period, likely influenced by old Seto and Seto Kuro styles. The rim features a deep black glaze, while the center showcases a simple clay body with depictions of flowers and plants, possibly orchids or bamboo grass. The stamped floral patterns (mold-pressed) on the rim evoke the history of ancient ceramics. The powerful brushwork and the subdued tones of the glaze are the appealing features of this piece.
