A set of four individual plates (small plates) from the "Cheerful Friends (Pierrot)" series by Koransha, a long-established Arita-yaki brand favored by the Imperial Household Agency. Originally a set of five, one plate was broken. I haven't used them in a long time, so I'm selling them to declutter. The plates feature colorful illustrations of pierrots, reminiscent of Showa-era retro design, and are decorated with gold rims. The material is porcelain, and they can be used as cake plates or dessert plates. I believe they are now discontinued. There is no gold gilding wear, and they look very clean at first glance, but there are fine scratches and signs of use that are noticeable when held up to the light. I have included a photo of the plate with the most noticeable scratches held up to the light, so please take a look. Brand: Koransha Size: Measured by hand Diameter: Approximately 16.5cm Accessories: None Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items. Thank you for looking.
