This item is from a family's long-term storage. It is very old. This is one high-footed plate from the Toan kiln of Kiyomizu-yaki pottery. It is a beautiful piece with exquisitely painted seasonal flowers and delicate gold edging, with gold powder applied to the surface of the plate. As you can see in the fifth image, there are five small chips (of the glaze?) in the glaze. I am not sure whether these occurred during the manufacturing process or over time. They are not noticeable due to the color of the base, but I have marked it as "defective" because of them. There are no other noticeable defects, but please understand this before purchasing. Size (cm): Maximum diameter 12.5, height 5.2 Material: Ceramics/Pottery Item Type: Small plate/soy sauce dish/small cup
