It features vibrant Iro-e (colored enamel) decorations, showcasing a classic Edo-period aesthetic with a central motif of a flower pot on a veranda, surrounded by lush peonies and chrysanthemums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Note on Character (Wabi-Sabi): This piece possesses a distinct antique character. It is what Japanese connoisseurs call \"Yaki-ga-amai\" (soft-fired), which has resulted in a deep, beautiful network of Kannyu (natural crackle) across the glaze. These features, along with its historical wear, embody the spirit of Wabi-Sabi—finding beauty in the imperfect and the aged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic Old Imari: Features the traditional \"Aka-e\" (red enamel) and \"Sometsuke\" (underglaze blue) palette typical of the 18th or 19th century style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntricate Symbolism: The peony represents nobility and beauty, while the chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity and the Imperial house.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Storage Box: Comes with its original wooden box, which has protected the piece for generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBox Condition Detail: The original wooden box is included, but please note a specific detail regarding the lid. The interior of the lid traditionally has two wooden strips called \"Sanga\" (桟) to ensure a secure fit with the box body. Currently, one of these Sanga strips is missing. A substitute wooden piece of a different size was found inside the box. However, this piece is slightly too large to be used as-is. To attach it properly, it will require manual shaving\/sanding to adjust the size before gluing it to the lid. We are providing this piece as a potential repair material for the new owner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize (Approx.):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 23.0 cm \/ 9.1 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 4.0 cm \/ 1.6 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight (Bowl): (Information not provided, but total box weight is 530g)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStorage Box: 27.0 x 27.0 x 7.0 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Antique \"as-is\" condition.
