This is a large dish in Nisai, green and white, and is in perfect condition. As mentioned above, this dish is one of the five thin shallow dishes with a single sunken line along the inside of the mouth rim. The base is made of high-quality fine clay, wheel-thrown sharply to the right, and well fired to an eggshell color.
The glaze is a dark green glaze with a deep arc drawn in two steps from the mouth rim to the interior and exterior surfaces, and then white glaze is applied over the entire surface, which melts and flows well, creating a glaze pool at the end. The white glaze has a light green color with a trace of green glaze.
