(About Nabeshima ware)
Nabeshima ware was created under the protection of the feudal lord of Nabeshima, who reserved ceramics made at his kilns for use as presentation pieces. These plates, bowls, or vases would be given to other lords, to nobles, or to high-ranking retainers in the service of the Nabeshima lord. The greatest Nabeshima wares were made at the village of Okawachi from about 1675 until the mid-eighteenth century. During this time, the lord and his retainers maintained tight control over production, and the system of production was highly organized. Shapes, design patterns, and sizes of bowls and plates were all regulated, and any pieces not meeting the lord's standards were destroyed. Secrets of manufacture were closely guarded. Wares produced at Okawachi are thus of uniformly superior quality in materials, shape, painting, and glazing. The painting on the bowl owned by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is exceptional, both for its flawless application and for the sense of liveliness achieved by the painter.
