Description:

This is a very finely painted Imari shell shaped Imari dish with a scalloped edge. There is a relief embossed fan shaped reserve in the middle. The lower half of the dish has a series of three large flowers – while the upper half has an intricate but well-balanced geometrical design. On the back of the dish there are two phoenix (ho-o birds) and two floral patterns on a pure white background glaze.

The dish measures 8 3/8” long by 7” wide and is ½” deep. We date it to the late Edo to early Meiji period, circa 1850s- 1880s. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or restorations. A lovely dish in a quite unusual shape.
