A porcelain dish, Nabeshima ware, Hizen, Edo period, late 17th – early 18th century | 色絵花籠文皿　肥前　鍋島藩窯　江戸時代中期　17世紀後半～18世紀前半

Kochukyo Co., Ltd, Tokyo.

Two crackle glazed jars placed inside a rattan flower basket with long loop handle before a branch of camellia and narcissus. The jars are filled with petals and blossoms rendered in iron-red enamel. While soft shading in iron-red is employed for the camellia flowers, the narcissi are rendered in a simplified outline. In contrast, there is particular attention to the gnarled branch in underglaze blue with delicate modulation and details. The flat rim is decorated with a continuous band of ruyi-heads.
