| A very attractive Kutani dish in the shape of a fish - with the body done in a scalloped fan shape and a strong design of a fierce shi shi chasing the sacred pearl. The tail of the fish is decorated in a nishidike brocade design in the traditional Kutani rust orange and green. Of the base is a simple design of four flames in the rust orange. The dish does not carry the usual Kutani (nine mountain) Kanji mark - however, the palette of colors is clearly that if the Kutani potters. The dish measures 6 3/4" long from the tip of the tail to the front and is 5" wide x 1" high. We date this dish to the late Meiji to early Showa period, circa 1920-1940 - it could be even earlier based on the wear to the foot rim. Excellent condition with no chips, hairlines or restorations. | |||||||||||
