Description
This deep bowl is well known as one of the excellent works of the Miyamoto-ya kiln. There are complicated frames both on the inner and outer sides of the bowl, and patterns in many tiny designs are executed in techniques of exquisite overglaze red enamel. Patterns used primarily are three sets of flowers and birds on the outer side. A touch of yellow and green and gold pigments add a light atmosphere.
