【Product Appeal and Features】 A set of two colorful and elegant small plates from Sanyo Touki's "Ryuho Kiln." The center features a pair of mandarin ducks, a symbol of marital harmony and everlasting love, depicted in a loving embrace. Despite the luxurious painting, the plates have a calm, traditional Japanese feel that will further enhance your dining table. While there are other kilns that use the name "Ryuho Kiln," the mark inscribed with "龍峯" in kanji within a green square frame is a representative design used by Sanyo Touki Co., Ltd. (Mino Ware). Therefore, we have determined these to be products of Sanyo Touki, a long-established manufacturer of Mino Ware. Some products handled by Sanyo Touki were made using Arita ware techniques at the "Ryuho Kiln," and thus not all products from Sanyo Touki are necessarily Mino Ware. Considering the characteristic five-color overglaze painting of Kutani Ware (vibrant overglaze in green, yellow, red, purple, and indigo blue), these are likely Kutani Ware. * Please note that this is based on personal research for this listing and may contain errors.
