Dish with Bamboo Leaves 18th century

This 18th-century dish, created by renowned Japanese potter Ogata Kenzan, showcases a simple yet elegant design of bamboo leaves. Kenzan, known for his innovative approach to ceramics, incorporated bold, painterly strokes in brown and blue to depict the delicate bamboo, creating a dynamic composition against a creamy glaze. The dish is a quintessential example of Kenzan's work, embodying his fascination with natural motifs and his mastery of Japanese aesthetics. The gold rim adds a touch of opulence and highlights the beauty of the hand-painted design.
