Due to the busy season at work, shipping may be temporarily suspended. Please be sure to read my profile. m(_ _)m *********************************** This is a set of 5 small plates from the brand "Chikusai" by Sanyo Toki, which is no longer in production. (Ryuhogama is another brand of the same company.) Small plates with gentle gold-colored floral edges. A petite size that will captivate those who love tableware (*^^*) The inside features gold-colored painted floral patterns. Chrysanthemums, bellflowers, pine trees, etc., with a soft gradation of colors, and the gold accents shine beautifully. * The color may appear slightly different due to lighting and natural light. Size: Approximately 8.5 cm wide, 1.7 cm high. Suitable for small dishes, condiment plates, soy sauce dishes, etc. Also great for serving delicacies at drinking parties or small snacks during tea time. The design is also perfect for serving small portions of New Year's dishes such as black beans, namasu, and tazukuri. Also suitable for spring festivals, etc. I originally brought these from my parents' house intending to use them at home, but they were buried during a subsequent move. They were carefully packed, so they are unused and in beautiful condition. There are no chips, cracks, or watermarks. For those who love tableware or are looking for these, how about it (^-^)? Sanyo Toki went out of business in 2007, and these are rare items that will never be made again. Please understand that these have been stored at home, and consider purchasing them. Please forgive any color unevenness, manufacturing marks, or minor storage scratches. The original box was discarded during the move. I will pack them securely with bubble wrap, etc. Rinsai Imari ware Arita ware Hasami ware Kutani ware Kiyomizu ware Kyo ware Mino ware Tachikichi Maebata Kozangama Ryuhogama Kinrande (gold brocade) Inban (printed) New Year's Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) Japanese pattern Serving plate Cake plate * * * * *
