This is an old Imari ware plate with sometsuke (blue and white) from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. There are areas that appear to be stains, but they are under the glaze and are likely from the firing process. We ask that those who understand antiques and vintage items purchase this item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition, as this is not a new item. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment.
