I received two of these as wedding gifts from a friend from Imari, and they were so lovely that I bought two more. I haven't had much of a chance to use them, and they've just been sitting in the cupboard. I'm hoping someone who will use them will take them. The pattern is grapes, which is considered auspicious for the prosperity of descendants. They are Imari-yaki or Arita-yaki. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details.
