Five small plates with a pine tree, crane, and turtle design, featuring "Seiryōen-sei" (made by Seiryōen) in gold paint on the foot. I asked the antique shop owner about the kiln, but he said it was an old story and he'd forgotten. I think they are from the early Showa era, but one plate has a kiln flaw, a worm-eaten mark, on the foot, so they might be from a slightly later period. There is age-related soiling on the reverse, but no noticeable scratches. Diameter: 13.4cm Height: 2.2cm
