Due to the busy season at work, shipping may be temporarily suspended. Please be sure to read my profile before purchasing. m(_ _)m *** A set of two Arita-yaki (Arita porcelain) plates from Kenzan Gama. These are items with a crisp, dark blue underglaze and gold and colored overglaze. The center features a delicate gold-painted bird and flower design, with peacocks and peonies as the main motifs. Around it, auspicious floral arabesques (peonies, chrysanthemums, and camellias), which are traditional Japanese patterns, are incorporated in a twisted, Shonzui-style design. The overglaze of gold and red, centered on the underglaze of indigo, creates a wonderful effect. ^_^ The undulating, lobed rim also adds a dynamic visual element to the plates. *Please note that the colors may appear slightly different depending on the natural light or type of lighting. Size: Approximately 17 cm in diameter, approximately 2.8 cm in height. Suitable as individual plates or serving plates. They have a moderate depth, so they can also be used for dishes with sauce. They would also be great for appetizers or small dishes (flat dishes), such as lightly arranging sashimi. ^_^ These are items from my family's storage. I am selling an unused set of 6. They were stored in a tea box and are in unused, beautiful condition! There are no cracks, chips, or watermarks. These are items from the good old Showa era. They are no longer made and are difficult to obtain. Please understand that these items have been stored at home, and consider purchasing them. Please forgive any original glaze or gold paint unevenness, slight imperfections, or minor scratches due to storage. They will be shipped without the original box. They will be carefully packaged with bubble wrap, etc. Kinrande (gold brocade) Akae (red painting) Floral pattern Japanese pattern Bird and flower design Arita-yaki Kiyomizu-yaki Kyo-yaki Kutani-yaki Hasami-yaki Mino-yaki Tachikichi Kozan Gama Ryuho Gama Daigo Gama Daikichi Gama Kyo Murasaki Serving plate New Year's Banquet * * * * *
