| Boldly decorated with underglaze cobalt blue in a pattern of loose lines overlaid with two vivid flowers, this Meiji Arita dish contrasts its precise shape with a free and floating central design. Rim patterns of bamboo, flowers and crosshatching, also loosely drawn, are divided into eight sections to emphasize the octagonal form. Four scrolling designs decorate the rim backs. A Kanji mark on the back of the plate translates as "treasure," perhaps a fanciful addition by the maker. Aritaware's typically soft glaze is evident in a few very small scratches on the front surface which, given the plate's age of late 18th/early 19th century, is to be expected. It is in good condition. Dimensions: height and width 10 1/2" (27 cm). | |||||||||
