Square in form with softly notched corners, it’s beautifully made with cascading wisteria, vibrant peonies, and a finely detailed peacock, a symbol of beauty and longevity in Japanese culture. The vivid palette of reds, pinks, blues, and greens is enhanced with delicate touches of gilt, adding depth and elegance to the overall composition. The surface shows a painterly quality, where each brushstroke contributes to the overall charm of the piece, showcasing the skill of the artisan. While the plate is unsigned, it speaks volumes through its decorative richness and craftsmanship.

With its graceful imagery and timeless appeal, this hand-painted plate embodies the essence of Japanese artistry, blending natural beauty with refined ornamentation.
