This long plate was purchased from an antique shop about 10 years ago. I initially thought it was Ko-Imari, but when I held it, it felt heavy and rounded. I felt something was a little different, so I brought it home. After researching, I found out it was not Ko-Imari, but Kirikome-yaki. This ware was made in Kami, Miyagi Prefecture from the late Edo period to the Meiji period. A similar piece is featured in "Koga Takashi's Kirikome-yaki." Its history is still shrouded in mystery, and further research is anticipated. The number of these pieces is definitely decreasing, so they are likely to become rare in the future. There are many scratches and abrasions. The corners appear to have been chipped and then smoothed down. Size: Width: Approximately 20 cm Height: Approximately 3.5 cm
