The unusual design of the crane as a circular roundel resembles a Japanese crest or mon, and would indicate therefore that the present lot might have been intended for the Japanese market. Crane roundels can be seen on Japanese blue and white Arita ware, see for example, the blue and white dish with a similar crane roundel, 1630-1650, illustrated by Y.Trousselle, La Voie du Imari: L'aventure des porcelaines à l'Époque Edo, Paris, 2008, p.38, no.29.
