Among the small plates with different vegetable patterns, these are from the early production with gold accents. The design differs from those sold later, and the size is also slightly larger (No. 4), making them rare items. Discontinued and rare. Five different vegetable patterns (asparagus, lotus root, bell pepper, chili pepper, long onion). The delicate lines and use of color with depth, combined with the whiteness of the porcelain, create a soft and elegant finish. The edges have a textured Ryoka edge with gold accents (kuchibeni)! It's rare to see gold accents on vegetable patterns, making these items with their early, luxurious design. (Later products, even with the same vegetable patterns, no longer have gold accents. Instead, colored circle lines are added to the center, and the design is slightly smaller and more casual.) * The color may appear slightly different due to lighting and natural light. Size: Diameter approx. 12.7 cm, height approx. 1.8 cm. Even as small plates, the diameter is over 12 cm, giving them a strong presence. They are also slightly deep. Suitable for small dishes, side dishes, soy sauce dishes, dipping sauce dishes, and condiment dishes. Perfect for serving butter, jam, light snacks, fruits, and sweets during breakfast or tea time. Suitable for various cuisines, including Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes ^_^. These were found among items stored at my parents' house. They were stored in a tea box in their original boxes, so they are unused and in beautiful condition! There are no chips, cracks, or watermarks. For those who love Fukagawa Seiji or are looking for these, how about them? They are currently discontinued and are rare items that are hardly ever seen. They currently retail for around 25,000 yen. I have made them more affordable by including the shipping cost. Please understand that these are stored at home, and consider purchasing them. Please forgive any original manufacturing marks or minor storage scratches. Shipped in the original box. They will be carefully packed with bubble wrap, etc. Arita-yaki Hasami-yaki Imari-yaki Nabeshima-yaki Kiyomizu-yaki Kyo-yaki Kutani-yaki Koransha Noritake NIKKO Nikko Tachikichi Minori Vegetables Yasai Vegetable * * *
