Dish with,blue and white

Dish with pine and plum design, blue and white

 This large underglaze blue-and-white dish with floral motifs of plum blossoms, pine trees, flowering trees, and wisteria is an excellent example. The underglaze blue and white dish with a chrysanthemum and narcissus snowflake design on a snowflake ring is also likely to have been inspired by a dyed textile design. The reverse of the underglaze blue dish with a pine and plum tree design is decorated with peonies and branches on three sides, and has a comb-shaped raised base. The others have a cloisonne design and a comb-shaped raised platform.
 The above is a list of excellent shaku-plate examples in underglaze blue and celadon, but as far as we know, there may be four or five other shaku-plates in underglaze blue. Shaku-plate works are generally more expensive because they are larger in size, but the variety of decorative beauty typical of Nabeshima is often found on 7″ and 5″ dishes.
