A set of 9 rectangular, retro Showa-era plates with a refreshing bamboo pattern. These ceramic plates feature a white base with navy blue accents, and the sides are designed with bamboo joints. The surface for placing food is flat, but the edges of the plates are raised, and the long (horizontal) edges of the rectangles are wavy, giving them a sophisticated feel rather than a flat appearance. The short (vertical) edges of the rectangles feature the bamboo design, with unevenness in the joint sections, creating variations in the glaze. (Photos 5, 6) These plates were stored in a home cupboard and were used only a few times, not for everyday use. The size is approximately 20cm x 13cm, with a thickness of about 2.5cm to 3cm. There are no stains on the surface, but some plates have minor stains on the underside. (Photo 11) Otherwise, there are no chips or scratches.
