This piece has been called sukusaka ware since ancient times, and exactly similar fragments have been excavated from the Yamakoya kiln in Arita and other kilns.
It is a flat dish with a slightly elevated base, a shallow five-petal incision at the mouth rim, and thickly molded overall.
Many of this type of white porcelain with a white slip pattern were made using a paper pattern or a stencil, but this piece seems to have been made by applying iron lees to the entire surface, scraping off plovers, dust, grass, etc., and then applying a white glaze after applying staining.
It is a rare masterpiece among iron-ground white glazed wares.
The base of the bowl has a dewy base.
There are five pieces in the set.
