This is a magnificent set of five authentic Old Kutani-yaki (九谷焼) porcelain plates, a true representation of classic Japanese ceramic art.
Unique Highlights: Authentic Kutani Ware: These are genuine Kutani-yaki pieces, known worldwide for their distinct rich colors (Gosu Blue, Ao, Aka, Ki, Murasaki) and intricate overglaze enamels.
Artist's Work: They are not mass-produced, but the individual creation of a ceramic artist from the Kutani region, giving each plate unique character and artistic depth.
Masterful Hand-Painting: Crucially, the detailed, complex patterns on all five plates are individually hand-painted. This dedication to shokunin (craftsmanship) is evident in the fine lines of the flowering branches and the precise geometric designs.
Elegant Design: Each plate features a delicate scalloped/fan-shaped rim and utilizes traditional Japanese motifs, often including the pine, bamboo, and plum (Sho-Chiku-Bai)—symbols of good fortune and resilience.
A Collector's Treasure: Perfect for collectors seeking rare, artist-signed, and genuinely hand-crafted pieces of antique Japanese porcelain, or for those wishing to display functional art of the highest quality.
