Shichifuku "Seven Lucky Gods" Saucer — Heptagonal White Porcelain
Shichifuku "Seven Lucky Gods" Saucer — Heptagonal White Porcelain
A heptagonal saucer in white porcelain from Miyama's Shichifuku series. The Seven Lucky Gods (七福神) circle the rim in soft in-glaze cobalt, with the Treasure Ship — Takarabune, 宝船 — painted at the centre. Seven sides for the seven gods: the form carries the meaning. Slip-cast in Mizunami, Gifu, Japan.
The chataku is the quiet half of a Japanese tea setting — it lifts the cup to a polite height, catches drips, and frames the drink. Miyama lays the gods around the rim like a small parade, with the Takarabune at anchor. A motif you find on Edo-period woodblock prints and New Year shrine ema; here it sits under your morning tea.
