Mukōzuke and Dish

These are also examples of Shibuemon’s Kaki-nabe style. This mukozuke dish with an orange design in overglaze enamels depicts a citrus branch on the front, chrysanthemum arabesques on two sides, and water chestnuts on the other two sides, and an arabesque design without a window. This small octagonal dish is decorated with a red circle window with a twin-phoenix design inside and a rounded design on the low, raised interior. The outer surface is covered with thick arabesques, and the inscription “Kakufuku” is written on the base. The moutsuke with floral motifs in overglaze enamels has arabesque motifs on the front and rim, while the outside is covered with arabesque motifs and is inscribed “Kakufuku” on the base. The mukozuke with a phoenix design in underglaze blue is a small piece of Kakiemon-style underglaze blue, and its underglaze blue expression is no less than that of Nabeshima. The four sides of the bowl are decorated with phoenix circles, the interior and exterior are decorated with petal patterns, and the rim is decorated with octopus arabesques. There is one mark inside the base.
　This long, boat-shaped dish with floral arabesque design in overglaze enamels is perforated on both sides in the shape of a beach, and its use is not clear, but it was probably created as tableware. The inner and outer sides are dyed with floral arabesques, and it is a truly elegant kaki-nabe handmade dish. There is one small mark on the base.
