Ko Imari Karashishi and Shippo Panelled Dish – c.1730
A fine oval nagazara, or long dish, decorated with an auspicious design of Karashishi, Buddhist lions, and Shippo, Cash, made for the Japanese domestic market. An o-zara of this form would have been used for the serving of a whole grilled fish. The panelled form of the dish is adapted from Chinese Kraak style porcelains of the early seventeenth century, which the Japanese would have classified as Ko Sometsuke. The dish is decorated primarily with gilt outlined enamels a style that was a development of the Kyoho period. An identical dish is illustrated in the Complete Catalogue of the Shibata Collection No 3153 at page 402 and is dated circa 1730-60. Dating late Kyoho to Horeki era in the Mid Edo period. The dish measures approximately 22 cm in length and just over 15cm at its widest and stands approximately 5cm high. Good condition, no cracks, chips, restoration or other damage. Shipping at Cost.
