A small Kakiemon footed saucer dish

A small Kakiemon footed saucer dish

1660 – 1670
Fuku Mark to reverse

15 cm across

Decorated with two deer in underglaze blue, the flattened edge of the rim also in underglaze blue.

This type, that has until recently been called to as Ai-Kutani, is now attributed to the Kakiemon kilns since similar pieces have been excavated in on the kiln site.

Condition – Two small hairline cracks, a fleabite chip to the rim and a slight grazing to the glaze.
