A set of very unusual low-fired raised dishes covered in crackled cream-colored glaze, each uniquely decorated with colors of russet red, green and yellow in motifs reminiscent of the Oribe ceramic tradition. I have never seen anything quite like them, and venture they were created in the late 19th to early 20th century possibly in Kyoto by an artist interpreting the Seto-Oribe tradition, or around Nagoya/Inuyama by an artist reminiscing on the Raku tradition of Kyoto. Each is rougly 16.5 cm (6-1/2 inches) diameter, 5 cm (2 inches) tall and all are in overall excellent condition. Perfect for a seasonal touch to a Kaiseki meal.
