The thick dish has unique down-turned corners. On the inside, a heron and reed are painted in seiji-sometsuke, a process that consists of three steps. First, a picture is painted with cobalt blue, then the picture is covered with a sheet of paper and celadon green glaze is applied over it. Next, the paper is removed and the entire surface is coated with a white glaze and fired. Celadon glaze is applied unevenly to this. The flat bottom has a circular foot at its center and the foot has several large crevices which were the result of the firing process. These crevices are often found in the Imari ware produced in the Kan'ei era (1624-1629) in the Hyakken kiln where the seiji-sometsuke process was frequently employed.
