Dish with dragon, phoenix and karahana flower design, enamelled ware Mark of 1699

Height 2.6 cm, mouth diameter 21.6 cm, base diameter 12.0 cm
 This piece, like Figures 22-25, has a Genroku inscription and is a representative example of the work traditionally referred to as Shibuemon-te. Although it is not known whether or not Shibuemon actually existed during the Genroku period, it is estimated that this dish may have been produced at the Kakiemon kiln during the Genroku period. The design is in the style of Ko-Imari gold brocade, with eight-petaled flowers at the mouth, dragon and phoenixes on two sides, and a Chinese flower pattern between the flowers.
