Subject:Set of 5 Japanese Eggshell Dishes With Inscribed Wooden Case
Posted By: Kevin Donnelley Tue, Jun 15, 2021 IP: 69.120.217.178
Hi All,
the neatly handmade dishes with their plumb blossom and branch decorations were painted with overglaze enamels. Each has a tall foot rim with a tall point at the midsection of the foot.
the custom case was made w/ 5 separate shelves on the interior was put together with wooden posts rather than nails or tacks to hold it together.
Hoping to learn more about the dishes and a translation of the writing.

H: 1 1/2"; 3.8cm
Diam: 5"; 12.7cm
Thank you for looking

Kind regards

Kevin

photo of the interior of the case showing four of the dishes wrapped in cloth and stacked on the shelves. the shelves slide in and out, and each was cut w/ a hole at the center(not shown) to hold the dishes in place by the foot rims.
