Size: Approximately 15.3cm in diameter, approximately 2.8cm in height. Meiji and Taisho era, copperplate printed "inban-de" (printed earthenware). Two medium plates. One plate has a chip on the rim. The other has a hairline crack. Please understand that there may be misprints and minor scratches, as these are old items. The design of the "inban" is so refined that it makes you think of Scandinavian design. Featured in "Zukawari Inban 2" (Illustrated Variations of Printed Earthenware). The patterns are so unique that you can understand why they are called "zukawari" (pattern variations), and they don't feel old at all. The curved expressions also suggest the influence of Art Nouveau, and you can feel the Japan of that time, which was rapidly absorbing new culture that was pouring in from the West. The size is easy to use, with a diameter of 15cm, and I think you can use them to serve cakes or small side dishes. We are looking forward to your purchase if you understand that these are old items. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please read the profile before purchasing. Thank you.
