This small cabinet plate features a delicately rendered landscape scene at center, depicting a tranquil riverside village with figures, boat, and architectural elements in soft grisaille tones accented with iron red.
The scalloped rim is richly decorated in traditional Kutani palette — deep iron red, gilt, and muted green enamels — arranged in alternating fan and brocade panels. Intricate gilt detailing and fine linework demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship characteristic of export-quality Meiji porcelain. The underside bears a red Kutani mark, consistent with late 19th-century production. Dimensions: Diameter: 5.5"
