Mt Fuji rising behind houses, a waterwheel turning beside rocky cliffs, trees and landscape painted by hand in the Kutani tradition — each of these six plates carries a complete scene, and because each is hand-painted, no two are exactly the same. Look closely and you'll spot the differences between them; that variation is part of what makes Kutani ware collectible.
Each plate bears a square red seal script backstamp traceable to Kutani artists, made in Japan around 1960. At 7.5 inches, these are generously sized for bread and butter plates — equally suited for appetizers, tapas, dessert, or a small salad course. They are beautiful as display pieces as well, arranged on a wall or shelf in a chinoiserie or Asian-inspired interior.
A rare find in a complete set, and a stunning gift for the collector of Japanese porcelain or hand-painted ceramics.
