The famous Kyoto potter Nonomura Ninsei also used the technique in the mid-17th century, thus popularizing it among artisans within Japan's cultural capital. The floral and vegetable motifs seen here are known as mon-chirashi, or 'scattered crests,' referring to the stylized family crests that became popular among all levels of society during Japan's Edo period (1615-1868).Come from hard baked earthenware (New Castle), Anonymous, c. 1820 - c. 1860 Half -ball -shaped bowl of hard baked pottery.
