Sometsuke porcelain is a Japanese technique for decorating ceramics by painting designs in cobalt blue under the glaze. This blue and white style is also known as \"underglaze blue\" and produces a vivid, durable finish after firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plates have a unique, softly curved square form and rest on small raised feet, giving them a refined and elevated presence. The bottoms show Tōsai’s impressed seal, as typically seen in his Kiyomizu works. Ideal for serving wagashi, small appetizers, sushi, or for use as decorative interior pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kyoto, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiyomizu-yaki (清水焼)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist \/ Kiln:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tōsai (陶斎)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sometsuke blue-and-white (染付 山水図)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Landscape scene (mountains, water, trees, birds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good vintage condition.
