When you think of Blue Onion, Meissen or Carlsbad usually come to mind, but there are also Japanese-made Blue Onion pieces. I suspect they were made to resemble the originals and exported to Europe and America. Diameter: Approximately 24cm (measured by an amateur) This item is indistinguishable from Meissen, but the price was likely much lower. In the past, Meissen painters were said to have painted pomegranates, but since pomegranates were not well-known at the time, they were mistaken for onions, hence the name. A search reveals that Maruta Pottery Works in Japan produced these, and there are records that Tachikichi also made them. The pattern is very similar to Blue Danube, which is also considered to be of Japanese origin. Maruta Pottery Works does not appear in searches anymore. This item is now rare and difficult to obtain. There are some minor scratches from stacking when held up to the light. Please consider this item if you understand that it is a used item.
