These are two of the five plates I purchased at the Okura Art China direct store in the basement of the Imperial Hotel in Hibiya. I previously listed a set of three unused plates, and this listing includes one plate that is almost the same level of condition as the previous ones, and another that shows slightly more signs of use. I checked the Noritake website and found that they currently sell for 8,250 yen per plate (currently out of stock). For two plates, that's 16,500 yen. They have some depth, so they can be used as soup plates. They are beautiful for serving dishes like cabbage rolls and curry, as well as Western-style stews. The white with blue gradation also goes well with Japanese food. Okura Art China, along with Noritake, is one of Japan's leading high-end tableware manufacturers. As many of you know, the texture is smooth and has a luster. Among them, the shaded Blue Rose is a popular series, and it is also available in cups and vases. Diameter: Approximately 20cm Height: Approximately 4cm I will carefully pack and ship them via Mercari delivery.
