A bird perches delicately among bursting peonies, chrysanthemums, and pomegranates, symbols of longevity, abundance. The intricately painted basket anchors the scene, while the dynamic floral scrollwork continues across the deep fluted rim in a brilliant reserve-patterned border.
This dish is an excellent example of Taisho period, c. 1912–1926, Arita ware, reflecting both technical mastery and aesthetic refinement. The base is lightly decorated with sprays of foliage in classic Arita style, and the form is subtly lobed, adding visual depth and tactile appeal.
Whether displayed upright on a stand, hung on the wall, or used flat as a centerpiece, this charger is sure to command attention in your home.
