A fine example of the Japonist movement of the late 19th century, this fine decoration is one of the most beautiful of the production of this period (published at least until 1929). The decoration is printed in blue on a slightly bluish paste. It consists of two floral motifs, a cherry tree or a plum tree, a barrier and half of a stylized chrysanthemum flower. The outline of each object has a band alternating medallions with flower motifs inside.
