ARITA WARE, KO-KUTANI TYPE, EDO PERIOD (LATE 17TH CENTURY) The round shallow dish decorated in polychrome enamels with a pavilion in mountain landscape, framed by a band with geometric design on a green ground with stylized cloud design, the underside of the dish also mustard-yellow and decorated with a dense floral scroll in brown lines, the recessed base with brown fuku (fortune) mark 12 ? in. (32.4 cm.) diameter
The sensuous decoration of Aode Kokutani is notably unlike the restrained, linear patterns on later 17th-century Nabeshima and Kakiemon wares from nearby kilns in and near the porcelain center of Arita. Kokutani ware flourished in Arita for a short period in the mid-17th century. The Kokutani designs were revived later in the village of Kutani in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture, northeast of Kyoto. Some late pieces even have the name "Kutani" inscribed on the base. Until recently it was thought that all Kutani wares (old and new) were made in Kutani. Although scholarship has advanced, the old nomenclature has been retained.
