Source Description
This large dish is decorated with roosters fighting under a blossoming cherry tree. The reverse is decorated with morning glory vines. By the second half of the 19th century, Kutani ceramics, such as this dish, began to be exported. The Kutani style of this period is marked by a heavy reliance on red and the use of gold, an opulent effect that undoubtedly appealed to foreign tastes.
