Source Description
This large plate is considered to have been produced in Kyushu, and is in a palette of Ko-Kutani style works called <em>aode</em> (literally, bluish-green hand) for the deep blue, green, purple, and yellow overglaze enamels that completely cover their surfaces. Ko-Kutani means “old Kutani,” and can refer to two kinds of porcelains. One kind is said to have been produced in the village of Kutani in present-day Ishikawa prefecture in the mid-1600s through the early 1700s. The other kind, decorated with similar glazes and designs, was produced in the former Arita domain of present-day Saga prefecture in Kyushu.
