Vintage Japanese Dragon Plates, Set of 4, Moriage Lusterware Ceramic Salad Dessert Plates, Made in Japan

Vintage Set of 4 Ceramic Plates Made in Japan. Measures 7.25". Raised design. Good condition. Some wear on backs and one back has a small chip.

Discover a stunning set of four vintage ceramic plates, handcrafted in Japan. Each 7.25-inch plate features a magnificent and intricate raised dragon design, a technique known as moriage, which gives the creature a dynamic, textured feel. The center of each plate glows with an iridescent lusterware finish, catching the light with subtle rainbow hues against a smoky, dark gray and black background.

These versatile plates are perfect for serving salads, appetizers, or desserts, adding a touch of mythical elegance to your table setting. They also serve as incredible decorative pieces, ideal for displaying on a wall, in a china cabinet, or on a bookshelf to complement Asian-inspired, traditional, or eclectic decor. This set makes a thoughtful and unique gift for a dragon lover, a collector of Japanese pottery, or anyone who appreciates fine, artistic tableware. It's a wonderful choice for a housewarming, birthday, or anniversary gift.

This set is vintage, estimated to be from the mid-20th century and over 50 years old. It is in good condition for its age. Please note there is some wear on the backs of the plates, and one plate has a small chip on the back, which does not affect its display or frontal appearance. As with any vintage piece, there may be other minor imperfections that I missed.
