The ginkgo's distinctive fan-shaped leaf is a symbol of longevity and endurance in Japanese art.Description
This dish is an example of the finest type of Japanese porcelain, Nabeshima-type Hizen ware. It has a complex, abstracted design of ginkgo leaves and “Chinese grasses” (karakusa) in underglaze blue that may be among the most interesting of the underglaze blue designs. The dish is the largest of the three standard-sized Nabeshima dishes for individual servings.- ?-2017(Sebastian Izzard, New York, NY, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)2017-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
