Thank you for viewing! A special, unearthed item is now available. Introducing a rare Sumi-ire Kakuzara (square plate). A superb piece with the refined taste of old porcelain. From the Edo to the late Edo period. The painting features the classic motifs of pine, bamboo, and plum. The window paintings depict Sotei, a piece brimming with ancient romance. These rare square plates are difficult to find in recent years. Despite their age, they are miraculously in good condition. The cobalt blue coloring is excellent, and the entire plate is carefully painted. Each one has a different expression, likely painted with care by a painter, making them endearing. It's difficult to convey in the photos, but they are a powerful size when you hold them in your hand ♡ The back is also decorated with auspicious designs, and the foot ring has a mark, making it a vessel with a history. Perfect for the coming season. Please use it with someone special. These treasures were made with effort and time unimaginable in modern products. How luxurious it must have been to have such a vessel in those days when people ate simple meals of two meals a day, one soup, and one side dish ♡ Why not inherit this piece of history on this occasion? Make it a family treasure. Size: Approximately maximum width 15 x 15 x height 3.5 cm For those who understand old items. Only the plate is for sale. For those who appreciate authenticity.
