Thank you for viewing. This is a large dish with a dyed Nishikide (brocade) hand-painted ring flower design. It is believed to be from the late Edo period. The inside is colorfully painted with window paintings depicting flowers and landscapes. The floral patterns feature red and gold arabesque designs, while the landscape patterns are surrounded by auspicious motifs such as sayaya patterns, arabesque patterns, and Shippo (seven treasures) patterns, all painted in five colors, making it very vibrant. It can be used decoratively, and is also a fun addition to both Japanese and Western cuisine. This item is from a storage clean-out. There are some scratches and fading of the gold paint due to the passage of time. We ask for your understanding if you are purchasing a used, antique item that has been stored at home.
