Yellow Seto mukōzuke bowl with flowering grass design

Hatakeyama Memorial Museum
 A slightly thicker, zanguri-shaped mukozuke dish with four corners pinched together to form a ring of flowers, each with a prospective value. The four corners are pinched to form a ring of flowers, and each has a prospective view of the other. The design is based on a flower and flower arrangement. The workmanship is rather crude, but it is almost unprecedented, and the five vases are complete. It has a low base and a low ring on the bottom, and there is a mark within the base. Most of the pieces up to the previous illustration are thought to have been made at the Daikanyama Kiln, where excellent Kiseto ware was fired, but this one may have been made at another kiln.
