 This chrysanthemum dish is a wheel-thrown circular dish in the shape of a chrysanthemum, with engraved lines along the petals on the reverse side. Although chrysanthemum-shaped dishes had been produced in Kizeto from early times, this large Shino dish with a zigzag shape is unique to the Momoyama period. The prospective view is decorated with a floral design, and the oniita (panel) is thickly covered with a white glaze, which is also quite thick, but the white glaze on the entire surface is well colored in a rat color. It is assumed that many dishes of this type were made, but few of them are known to exist. A low circular base was carved out of the bottom of the plate, and a single mark remains within the base.
