Introduce a spectacular piece of contemporary ceramic royalty to your collection with this authentic, hand-painted Kutani-yaki decorative display plate (Kazari-zara). This highly stylized, rectangular scroll-edge plate was crafted by Tomonari Asakura, who formally inherited the prestigious lineage as Asakura Isokichi III.
 
The plate features a sophisticated modern interpretation of classical Kutani aesthetics. A solitary, beautifully detailed Tori (bird) rests on a branch beneath a golden celestial moon filled with a traditional labyrinthine geometric pattern. The left scroll handle and the entire reverse side of the plate are blanketed in a rich, high-gloss Ao-Kutani deep emerald-green enamel glaze, highlighting a stunning crackle weave and the artist's stamped seal.
