| An unusual and fun pair of Arita (certainly Hizen ware) porcelain plates. The decoration of Shishi lions among clouds and over active sea executed entirely in polychrome overglaze enamels: blue-green, mustard-yellow, persimmon-red, aubergine, black and traces of gold enamel. The clear glaze pools to a faint blue tinge most notably around the foot. Good condition. One 8 3/8 inches (cm) the other 8 1/2 inches (cm) diameter. At least 19th century. | |||||||
