Large ceramic plate. The base color is a brownish hue, with a white glaze applied in a pattern. The swirling pattern, likely created by a potter's wheel, is bold. The unevenness of the glaze, air bubbles, and the weight of the clay give this item a rustic and tasteful feel. Diameter: Approximately 36.5 cm Height: Approximately 6.5 cm This large plate is the kind you might see used in a deli, a traditional Japanese home-style restaurant, or a small, refined restaurant. Besides serving food, it can also be used for interior decoration. It could be used as a saucer for bonsai, or to group small potted plants together for a miniature garden effect. Also, wouldn't it make a cool, refreshing bed for small dogs or cats in the summer? This item has been stored at my parents' house for a long time. I believe there are no significant scratches. I think it can be used without any problems. There is no original box. I plan to pack it using cushioning material and cardboard boxes I have at home. ★ I am also selling other large plates.
