Dish with design of three kinds of fruit, enamelled ware

Dish with design of three kinds of fruit, enamelled ware

Both are circular flat dishes with rounded edges, and represent the same three-fruit pattern as the three-fruit plate in overglaze enamels. The plate with the three fruits design in overglaze enamels is only overglaze enamels without underglaze enamels, while the plate with the three fruits design in overglaze enamels is a plate in some-nishiki-te with underglaze enamels showing branches, leaves, and stripes around the rim. The reverse side of this dish has an inscription “Made in the Enpo era,” and if there is no doubt about the date on the inscription, this type of work can be assumed to have been made in the Enpo era. The reverse side has a Kakufuku inscription in the center, and the outside is covered with arabesques.
