Detailed Description: 

A beautiful Japanese porcelain plate crafted in the tradition of Arita-yaki, featuring classic sometsuke decoration in underglaze cobalt blue. The design depicts an elegant floral tree with a bird, a traditional kachō (flower and bird) motif symbolizing harmony with nature in Japanese aesthetics. The plate is finished with a softly scalloped rim (rinka style) and showcases the clean white porcelain and refined brushwork characteristic of Arita ware. Signed on the base “Senzan saku” (千山作), indicating it was made by the Senzan workshop or artisan.

This timeless piece dates to the Shōwa period and represents high-quality Japanese tableware, suitable for both daily use and decorative display. Ideal for serving sweets, side dishes, or as a refined accent in a Japanese-inspired interior.
