A small Japanese green-glazed pottery dish attributed to Minpei (Awaji) ware, likely dating to the Meiji period (1868–1912). The dish is square with inward-curving corners and gently sloping sides. A sinuous dragon coils among stylised clouds in the centre, with the glossy apple-green glaze pooling in the recessed lines and bringing out the details of the design.
The underside bears a red wax seal reading 鑑定, with a star above and the number 2 below. It is consistent with a Chinese export inspection seal of a type introduced in the 1950s. The exact year of export is unknown.
Minpei ware takes its name from Kashū Minpei, who established a kiln on Awaji Island, Japan, in 1831. The pottery is known for its vivid monochrome glazes, particularly green and yellow, and for drawing on Chinese ceramic forms and motifs. Small dragon dishes like this one are characteristic of that influence.
