Small Dish (Kozara) with Radishes
The blues in this rare early Nabeshima dish have violet tones not seen in later examples. The rust-colored glaze covering much of the surface evidences early Nabeshima’s technical and aesthetic similarities to enameled porcelain produced in the nearby Arita region.
