Description
The gourd-shaped tabletop has deeply indented corners, and is decorated with a miniature landscape facing a harbor. The rims have Saya style designs of swastika. The transom is carved in a seven-treasure design decorated with arabesque flower motifs. Four significantly protruding sections of the lower part are framed, and in each a landscape is drawn. In the margin space, there are Saya style designs. The tops of the legs attached from behind are curved like bracken and arabesque flower motifs are drawn on them. Soft clay with a white glaze is a unique color pattern of Aoya style.
