On offer is a beautiful antique Japanese porcelain dish, executed in the Kraak style — a distinctive blue-and-white aesthetic originally inspired by 17th-century Chinese export porcelain and later adopted by Japanese artisans during the Edo period and beyond. This hand-painted dish features traditional panelled decoration, floral motifs, and a central vase of flowers — all meticulously rendered in cobalt blue underglaze.

Measuring approximately 9.5 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches deep, this piece reflects the Japanese interpretation of Kraak ware, known for its balance of formality and decorative charm. The segmented design and radial symmetry create a compelling display, ideal for use as a wall-hung piece or tabletop feature.

Condition is generally good for age, with one small chip to the rim, as clearly shown in the photographs. The wear is minor and does not detract from the overall elegance or collectibility of the piece.

Kraak-style ceramics were widely produced in Japan during the late Edo to Meiji periods, largely for both domestic and export markets. Their designs, influenced by Ming-era Chinese wares, became highly collectible in the West and remain so today for their cross-cultural historical appeal and decorative value.
