NORITAKE Noritake Hanasarasa Series 21cm Plates, Set of 2 I am selling these plates because I have many, although I purchased them as part of a morning set with mugs. These 21cm plates are rarely offered for sale, so they are perfect for those who are looking for them. These plates are large enough for toast or large cakes. You can add fruit, ice cream, and whipped cream to your cake. Inspired by the imaginary plant "Tree of Life," which bears flowers and fruit simultaneously, this elegant design evokes an exotic atmosphere with its Sarasa patterns. The Tree of Life is a traditional motif, cherished worldwide, including in West Asia, as a symbol of vitality and prosperity. It is often depicted in Persian carpets and Indian Sarasa fabrics. The center of the flowers features a thick design with red "iro-mori technique" and gold accents. The contrast between the gentle gradation of the "leaves" and the sharply drawn "flowers" is striking, creating a series with a deep and captivating charm. Launched in 1989, this is one of Noritake's representative series, beloved by a wide range of generations. I have checked them thoroughly, but there may be minor scratches, scuffs, or stains. Please understand and accept that these are items stored at home and inspected by an amateur before purchasing.
