Explanation:
A large plate in the old Kutani Aote style.The plate is thick for a piece of porcelain, and peony branches and flowers are dynamically displayed on the entire surface.The flowers are purple, the leaves are green, and the pique-like pattern in the background is colored with yellow paint on the black outline.The entire surface of the back is painted with green paint, and on top of it is a pattern in the shape of a boiling cloud (cloud pattern) drawn with black lines. It is a typical Ko-Kutani colored plate, thought to have been produced in the 1650s, and has characteristics consistent with pottery shards excavated from the Yamabeda kiln in Arita.
