The whole organization of the design into two circular registers, one inset with small lobed reserves, the other with a meander and a central roundel reserve also seems to follow Chinese blue and white precedents of this particular perio...

A medium sized bowl decorated in “Kinrande” style for the Japanese domestic market. These richly enamelled wares were patronised by the wealthy merchant class and tend to be decorated primarily with auspicious objects and patterns, kissho-ga which gives rise to the alternative description “katamono”, meaning literally standard objects. These wares imitate the richness of the Chinese kinrande wares of the Wanli era, hence the apocryphal six character mark to the base of the dish
