| This Imari dish is 18 5/8 inches in diameter, probably with the original "tomobako" box dated "the third year of Ansei", 1857. The design is divided into three repeated sections with Karako boys. The enameling is of good quality, underglazed blue with gold in a lovely soft tone which can only be found on pieces as old as the Meiji period. The date shown on the box is 3 years after the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry in the black ship demanding the opening of the county. It brought the end of Tokugawa Shogunate and the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) after a long seclusion of 250 years. Excellent condition, some scratches in the center area as shown. | |||||||||||
