Antique Plate - Namasara (Vinegar-Pickled Dish) - Whorled Iris Flower and Bird Motif, Hand-Painted Gold Colored Enameled Plate - One Piece This is a practical namasara with a moderate depth, making it easy to use. Perfect for vinegared dishes and dressed dishes, as well as simmered dishes, salads, and fruits. It's a dish you'll naturally want to reach for at your everyday dining table. The iris flower and bird motif is an auspicious design: The iris symbolizes "warding off evil and healthy growth," and the bird symbolizes "bringing good news." As each piece is hand-painted, there is a unique charm in the variations of the lines and the shades of color. It is more beautiful than in the photos. With its understated and calm colored enamel, even simple everyday dishes will create a gentle atmosphere at your dining table. As this is an antique item, there may be unevenness in the glaze, rubbing of the paint, and the texture characteristic of its age. These are considered part of the charm of antique items and are in good condition. Recommended for those who understand and appreciate these qualities.
