The dishes have wide flat rims and are decorated with two quail opposite a large clump of wild chrysanthemum in underglaze blue and the Kakiemon palette, including iron-red, cerulean, turquoise, yellow, black and gold.
The base carries the fuku or good fortune mark in running script within a square cartouche, 21.8cm in diameter.
Separately, and together, the chrysanthemum and the quail symbolise autumn in traditional Japanese culture.
