Each dish features a finely painted landscape scene, depicting mountains, trees, and natural scenery rendered in underglaze cobalt blue.

The hand-painted designs show subtle variations from piece to piece, reflecting traditional craftsmanship rather than factory uniformity. The gentle brushwork and balanced compositions are characteristic of early Imari aesthetics, valued for their elegance and restrained beauty.

These small plates were likely used as serving dishes or side plates, and today they are equally suitable for display, collection, or refined table presentation. As a complete matching set of seven, this group is particularly appealing to collectors of Japanese ceramics, Ko-Imari ware, and blue and white porcelain. See less
