#Showa Era #Arita Ware #Antique #Vintage #Side Dishes #Individual Plates Arita Ware Approximately 12cm in diameter, Approximately 2.5cm in height These are side dishes used in high-class Japanese restaurants in the early Showa era. There are 11 plates in total, and their conditions vary slightly, but generally: One plate has a chip (last photo), There is dirt on the foot rim, The gold trim on the edges has some wear. (Please forgive any minor oversights.) I've seen stylish cafes renovated from old folk houses using these kinds of plates intentionally. They are now destined for disposal in my home, but before that, I'm offering them for sale in hopes that someone might find a novel use for them, perhaps in interior design or something similar.
