A refined example of late-Edo Nabeshima porcelain, painted in serene underglaze blue with the auspicious "Three Friends of Winter." The dish is hand-decorated in cobalt blue beneath a clear glaze, depicting a gnarled pine, slender bamboo, and a flowering plum sprig — the Shochikubai motif, a classic emblem of resilience and good fortune. Measuring approximately 33 cm in diameter, it rests on the tall, distinctive foot that characterises Nabeshima ware. Plates of this scale were never made for daily use, but for formal display, showcasing the technical refinement of the Nabeshima kilns. A genuine Edo-period piece with quiet presence and lasting collector appeal. 【About Nabeshima Ware】 Nabeshima ware was produced at the official kiln of the Nabeshima clan at Okawachi in Saga, from the late 17th century onward. Created as presentation ware for the shogunate and ranking lords, it is widely regarded as the height of refinement in Japanese porcelain of the Edo period. Authentic antique Nabeshima pieces are increasingly prized by collectors worldwide. 【Condition】 A genuine antique of over 150 years, in good overall condition with age consistent with its history. There are faint stain-like lines and an area of rough glaze imperfection along the rim, shown clearly in the photographs. The underglaze blue decoration remains crisp and well preserved.
