Hand-Painted Japanese Arita Sometsuke Plate | Blue & White Porcelain Square Serving Dish | Peony & Gourd Chinoiserie Motif, Circa 1910s

This exquisite hand-painted Japanese Arita porcelain plate features a flowing sometsuke (blue-and-white underglaze) design of stylized gourds, peony blossoms, and scrollwork, framed by a softly squared shape with gently flared edges.

Likely crafted during the Taishō era (1912–1926), this piece embodies the artistry and elegance of traditional Arita ware — known for its meticulous brushwork and refined cobalt tones. The underside also carries delicate hand-painted motifs, a hallmark of quality Japanese porcelain from this period.

A perfect statement for chinoiserie displays, blue-and-white collections, or a refined vintage dining vignette.
