I bought this because I thought it was beautiful at the Tajimi Pottery Fair a while ago. I've been displaying it without using it. Ohashi Pottery was made in Toki City, Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture, and due to the closure of the company, items that had been stored in the warehouse are also being sold at the Tajimi Pottery Fair. Although it is not in perfect condition, I believe it is a good item as a vintage piece from the warehouse, with no cracks or chips. I looked it up and found that the mark "made in Japan" on the back indicates that it was made shortly after the war. Please check the photos. There are stains on various parts of the plates and cups (I believe these were present from the beginning). There are areas where the gold on the cups has peeled off. For those who love vintage items, collectors, those who appreciate historical items, and those who love beautiful designs, please consider this item.
