Description: Put this item on your Watchlist to receive a special offer and notifications every time there is a price drop. Sometsuke is a Japanese term referring to the technique of decorating ceramics with brush-painted designs in underglaze cobalt blue on a white ground. Transparent glaze is applied on top of this painted bisque before firing, producing a vivid shade of blue that is known in China as qinghua (literally “blue flower”). This is a Japanese antique c1900 porcelain plate. It has a blue sometsuke pine tree, bamboo, and plum blossom (Shōchikubai) design in the center with lotus and peony blossoms surrounding them. The plate measures just over 9 inches wide and is in very good condition for its age. Most of the defects are firing flaws including a slight warping to the entire piece (see photo).
