Kosometsuke, literally ‘old blue and white’, refers to porcelains made specifically to cater to the Japanese taste, including those painted in another palette such as this wucai example. With the growing demand for wares for tea drinking and kaiseki meals during the tea ceremony in Japan, Chinese kilns developed new, irregular shapes and decorations. Kosometsuke porcelain was intentionally manufactured using poorly levigated clay and roughly potted with inconsistencies or imperfections that appealed to the Japanese. Typical Kosometsuke wares are often slightly warped in shape and bear rim ‘frits’ from manufacture which were intentionally made and often perceived as damage or a mistake during firing. Often the glaze would flake off the body of the piece and the edges, known as mushikui, or ‘earth worm nibbles’ were particularly prized.

In Japan, porcelain with polychrome overglaze enamels produced at private kilns in Jingdezhen from the late Ming through the early Qing dynasties is known as nankin aka-e, while porcelains of the Tianqi and Chongzhen eras are sometimes known as Tenkei aka-e, from the Japanese name for Tianqi, and differentiated from Nankin aka-e.
