This charger was handmade wheel thrown by a skilled craftsman who made this plate in a Meiji period geometric six panel design with a hand painted abstract tropical bamboo beach scene painted in three of the six panels. The artist filled in the six panel abstract geometric design with bright reds, dark greens, and a deep blue that covers the whole charger with great use of color.
