A phoenix amid clouds and waves fills the central medallion, framed by a seigaiha wave border and a wide band of floral roundels and chrysanthemum scroll around the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStencil-printed blue and white, sometimes called Meiji stencil ware, let potteries reproduce intricate all-over patterns quickly and consistently for the growing domestic market in small tableware. Kashizara of this kind were made and used in sets for serving sweets alongside tea, and the fine, repeating dot-and-line texture visible under magnification is the hallmark of the stencil method rather than hand painting or transfer printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese kashizara (sweets plate), blue and white porcelain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction or Decoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Underglaze cobalt blue, stencil (katagami) applied pattern; phoenix medallion, seigaiha wave border, floral roundel and chrysanthemum scroll rim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meiji period, circa late 19th to early 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.25″ diameter × 0.75″H (11 × 2 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glaze and pattern intact, no chips or cracks apparent; light glaze pooling\/imperfections at the rim consistent with period manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shogun's Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53153338523965,"sku":"26L0360","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/04520773-17BB-439C-B31C-D6872EDFDA35_1_105_c.jpg?v=1790369656","url":"https:\/\/shogunsgallery.com\/products\/antique-japanese-meiji-c1890s-stencil-kashizara-sweets-plate-blue-white-4-25w","provider":"Shogun's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
