Glazed stoneware with iron oxide underglaze slip; overall: 22 x 22 x 2.7 cm (8 11/16 x 8 11/16 x 1 1/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Purchase from the J. H. Wade Fund 1966.365 The Ogata brothers Kōrin and Kenzan often collaborated on ceramics. This dish is one of a set used for serving tea cakes. Kenzan shaped the dish, after which Kōrin drew the iron oxide design of plovers, a type of shorebird, flying over waves. Kenzan then covered the object with a clear glaze and fired it. Kōrin placed his signature next to his design, while Kenzan signed the back.
