| 8” diameter, excellent condition with normal enamel loss around rim, marked / carved on reverse. Dating likely Late Edo period (1600-1868), before 1860s. This simple and marvelous plate is a folk art type generally only seen in the West in museum folk art collections. The elegant and simple design of the sun is done in either lacquer or an oil paint method known s “mitsuda-e”. This method, popular during the Edo Era for folk lacquers, used oil paints similar to those in the West, but the technique seems to be derived from a similar one common in China during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1844). | ||
