Thank you for viewing. This is a beautiful Namasu dish from the Edo to late Edo period, with a lovely Gosu (cobalt blue) color. This is a genuine antique porcelain piece. Ancient astronomical observation ♡ Under the starry sky, wise men are secretly talking while floating on a boat ♡ Who were the wise men who could float such a luxurious boat in this era? Tonight's moonlit night and the ancient moon and stars are the same, and the scenery we look up at remains universal even as times change. An unchanging view that has been repeated since ancient times. It's a presence we tend to forget, being caught up in our daily hustle, but if we broaden our horizons and look up, it might be a landscape that makes us feel gentle. Please, why not enjoy it while imagining the ancient times ♪ The shading and blurring of the painting are a wonderful masterpiece, like a Sumi-e painting. It is a very old vessel. As it is a rare item, how about using it for appreciation or as a collection? The color of the porcelain on the sides has the texture of celadon ♡ The rim has an accent with rusty glaze. It is a masterpiece that exudes the atmosphere of the good old days. Size: Approximately 15 x 5 cm Please only purchase if you understand that it is an antique item. There are kiln marks on the two foot rings. There is a chip on one. I don't think it will cause any problems in use. It is a simple masterpiece, without the flashiness of colored paintings or Nishikide (brocade-style), but it has the subdued style of old porcelain Gosu paintings. The taste of the white, which is not pure white, is soft and wonderful.
