1650s · Porcelain with underglaze blue, yellow-brown glaze, and overglaze enamels (Hizen ware, Nabeshima type) · Asian Art
The blues in this rare early Nabeshima dish have violet tones not seen in later examples. The rust-colored glaze covering much of the surface evidences early Nabeshima’s technical and aesthetic similarities to enameled porcelain produced in the nearby Arita region.
