A small painting in porcelain form — and a genuinely uncommon one.
This hand-painted plate depicts a tranquil country scene: a cottage at the water's edge, white birch trees in the foreground, a picket fence, and a scattering of pink flowers. What sets it apart is the border — jagged and irregular, almost like a torn edge or the silhouette of a woodland — which gives the piece a distinctly artistic character. Signed by the artist on the reverse alongside the "Hand Painted, Made in Japan" backstamp.
