Oribe shallow bowl
With the exception of the Oribe shiho-hirabachi, these flat bowls are oddly shaped, and there are very few examples of either type. The Oribe Matsubi Rhombus-shaped flat bowl has four legs on the bottom, and the Oribe Shiho-Heibachi has hanging persimmon and mamdo patterns on the sides and pierced legs. The Oribe hirabachi has legs on all four sides of the bottom, and the cloth pattern is clearly visible under the green glaze on the interior. The Oribe hirabachi has a very interesting design with a bird like swallow as an example. It has solid legs on three sides of the bottom. The last Oribe flat bowl is a rare one without green glaze, with chrysanthemum and round patterns on the prospective surface and arabesque and sawtooth patterns on the side. The sides are decorated with arabesques and sawtooth patterns. It is softly fired.
