As shown in the photos, this is a set of 4 plates, large and small. I think they would be good for plating Japanese food. I received them as a gift, but I haven't been able to use them much because I have small children. There is no original box. Sizes: Small plates: 11cm long, 9cm wide, 2.8cm high Large plates: 22cm long, 16cm wide, 4.5cm high Please note that these are amateur inspections and measurements, so there may be some oversights or errors. Also, please refrain from purchasing if you are very concerned about details. Type: Plates/bowls/dessert dishes - Set (3 or more) Material: Ceramic
