- Curator's comments
- This bowl would have been part of a set presented to the Tokugawa shogun and his officials on annual basis by the Nabeshima daimyo. Designs differed on regular basis and this pattern was used at the end of the 17th to the early 18th centuries, the peak period for Nabeshima ware.
