An early–mid 20th century Japanese Meizan ware square plate, finished in a soft khaki glaze and decorated with a crab motif. The composition is simple yet expressive, with the crab rendered in a natural, understated style against the muted ground.
The slightly irregular square form adds to its charm, while subtle glaze variation brings depth and warmth to the surface. The piece features a backstamp in the form of a square cartouche, adding an extra point of interest for collectors.
A characterful piece that works beautifully for serving or as a decorative object, a lovely example of Japanese ceramic design.

Very Good. As with all vintage, handmade, or antique pieces, you would expect general age-related wear and discrepancies.
