 The design of white circles on a background of dragon eyes, with pine, bamboo, and plum patterns inside each circle, looks as if it were a kosode-split. The shape of the vessel is rather shallow, in the style of old Nabeshima, and is thought to have been made by the Okawachi Kiln. The back is covered with peony arabesques, and the base is decorated with short comb patterns.
