Large Dish (Ōzara) with Peony, Butterfly, and Insects
Large blue and white plate. The plate has a wide rim with a blue scroll pattern around its edge. Inside the rim are two concentric circles, one plain and one with an interlocking pattern. The center of the plate features a blue peony plant with several leaves and a large flower. Two butterflies are flying above the plant; one on the right side, and one near the top. There are two insects near the top, possibly beetles. The background of the plate is white. The plate casts a slight shadow on a grey gradient background.
