Soup plate

Japanese, for European market

Not on view

This Imari-style plate intersperses variations on common Chinese-inspired motifs-flower vases, clouds, and phoenixes-with a group of Japanese designs of flying birds, chrysanthemums, scattered maple leaves, and camellias. As a result, it feels lighter and less formal that most Imari pieces.
