Antique Dishes with Hand-painted Taka (Hawk) Design
From late Meiji to early Taisho Period (1900~1920)
Made in Hizen, a province which was part of Saga and Nagasaki Prefectures and also included Arita and Imari
Hizen, Arita and Ko-Imari (Old Imari) are often used interchangeably for ceramics from this region, produced during the Edo and Meiji Periods
Small plates used in Japanese cuisine to serve side dishes
In modern times, they can also be used as catch-all or trinket dishes
They have been decorated with transfers, hand-painting and itchinmori techniques
Itchinmori is a technique where slip, glaze, or paint is poured into itchin (dropper) and squeezed out to decorate the piece
Hawks can reach their target with speed and precision, their sharp claws capturing their prey and never letting go, thus associated with grasping luck, happiness, and succeeding in life
Marked with kanji character “Hi” for the former province of “Hizen”
