This item has been at my parents' house for about 50 years. They said it was especially good for displaying sashimi. They used it with great care, and it seems it was only used when guests came over. As the family has gotten smaller, the large plate has been used less and less. I decided to list it because I would like to pass it on to someone who will use it. When you serve food on this large plate, it looks even better and is very eye-catching. I really hope you'll give it a try! There are no scratches or chips, but there is some dirt? on the foot ring. Is this due to aging? Please take a look at the pictures, keeping in mind that it has been stored at home, and I would appreciate it if you would purchase it. Thank you very much.
