Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Such dishes were commonly exported in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, primarily to countries in Southeast Asia and to Japan. For example, an almost identical dish, collected in Indonesia, is in the Princessehof Museum, Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Shards of this type of dish have been recovered from the ruins of Ichijo-in of Kofuku-ji, Nara-shi, Japan, and from the ruins at Naito-cho, Tokyo, now in the Shinjuku Historical Museum, Tokyo. Examples in public collections are too numerous to list. An identical example is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Similar designs were also painted in slip on to a white ground and on to a toffee-coloured ground. An example of each is in the Seikado Bunko Art Museum, Tokyo, together with the more common white on blue design.
