This gohan chawan fragment features polychrome decoration that is applied both under and over the glaze.

An orange cherry blossom has been hand painted or possibly stamped on top of the glaze. A reddish-orange 'Made in Japan' mark appears on the base. This vessel was donated to the AACC by Ron James.
