Aizu Lacquerware Camellia Design Individual Plates Size: Diameter 15cm, Height 2cm Makie Finish Surface: Urethane Coating Brand New, Unused The camellia, traditionally believed to ward off evil spirits and demons, and representing eternal youth, good fortune, and matchmaking, is depicted in a graceful design on these elegant plates, set against a lustrous, deep amber background. These have been stored for a long time. Some plates have slight fading or spots on the camellia design, possibly due to aging. Two plates have marks on the underside, possibly from the paper they were stored with. Neither of these issues is very noticeable, and they do not affect use. The underside is coated with a scratch-resistant urethane resin. -------------------------------------------------- 〈Makie〉 A technique where a design (underdrawing) is drawn on a lacquered surface with lacquer, and then gold, silver, tin, or other powders, or colored powders such as vermilion or green, are sprinkled on to adhere to the surface, creating the pattern. --------------------------------------------------- ※ Please do not use hard sponges, scouring pads, or metal scouring pads. This will cause damage. For those who are not concerned about home storage and can understand, thank you. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection.
