This is a J-series soup plate designed by Masatoshi Saeki, a ceramic artist selected as one of "10 Designers of the World" by the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy, who passed away in 2019. It is from the 1970s and is no longer in production. It is a 50-year-old vintage item. 【Size】 Diameter: Approximately 12cm (approximately 17cm including the handle) Height: Approximately 5.3cm It has been stored at my parents' house for a long time, but it is unused. It has been stored in a dark place, so there are no noticeable stains or dirt, but due to the hand-painted design, there are individual differences in the design of each piece. Please understand that this is a vintage item before purchasing. ※Due to the nature of ceramics, there are "kannyu" (crazing). "Kannyu" refers to the fine cracks that appear on the surface of the glaze due to the difference in shrinkage between the ceramic body and the glaze during the cooling process after firing. This does not affect the strength of the vessel and has been enjoyed as a beautiful pattern since ancient times. If you are looking for a perfect product like a modern product, please refrain from purchasing.
