About this work
Yohei III’s main output for his sophisticated clientele was in the form of tea sets and dining sets. He often produced in pairs, sets of five, or sets of ten. This set of five dishes with a green glaze and designs of ivy vines in very low relief has unfortunately lost its box. These dishes are slightly larger than the other dishes, like CMA 2022.187 , and so may have been not saucers but rather small plates for meals.
