An Ai Kakiemon dish decorated with a repeating pattern of Hosoge, flowers of Precious appearance, which in this case would appear to be representations of auspicious Pomegranate fruits constructed from Ruyi, Acanthus style leaves and other disparate elements. The ring of Hosoge pierced by a circlet binding them together with a gobenka motif in the centre. The reverse decorated with a lotus arabesque, karakusa, and a stylised fuku mark within a double square; a mark exclusively used by the Kakiemons. The rim finished with a mid -brown fuchibeni glaze. The dish which is moulded in a lotus shaped form dates to the period 1680-90 and was produced by the Kakiemon family in the Nangawara valley and probably fired at the Kama no Tsuji kiln, which the Kakiemons operated at this period. The dish measures 19.4cm in diameter and stands 4cm high to the rim. It has a footrng diameter of 11.5cm and weighs 371 grams. It is in good condition with no cracks, chips or restoration a small area of glaze skip to the reverse of the rim, please see images. Worldwide shipping included in the US $ price and UK shipping.
