Height 4.4 cm, mouth diameter 14.8 cm, base diameter 7.9 cm, Kurita Museum of Art
 This flat dish has a flattened profile, and the mouth rim is sharply twisted back to form a guard rim. The design is a bunch of leaves of orchids and autumnal orchids, and the expressive power of using dye to show only the leaves of autumnal orchids is truly outstanding. There is no other similar example. There is no pattern on the reverse side, and it is plain white.
