I purchased this online from Chef Mori, who is popular on Instagram. These plates make food look great. This is the price for a set of two. The purchase price was 5500 yen per plate. I used them once or twice and then put them away. There are some black spots, but they were there from the time of purchase (images 3 and 4). The plate description is a screenshot from Chef Mori's online page, so please read it (image 7). I personally don't see any noticeable scratches, and I think they are like new, but there may be small scratches that I have overlooked. Please understand this before purchasing.
