Hand-painted roses and tulips wind across this porcelain dish, elegant enough that its serving days are almost beside the point.

Traditionally used for celery or asparagus at the table, its raised moriage floral work and gently curved, inward rim make it just as suited to display. A lovely Mother's Day or spring hostess gift, equally at home holding jewelry on a vanity or presenting candies at a gathering.
It carries the delicate hand-painted detailing typical of mid-century Japanese exports made for the American home — the kind of quiet craftsmanship stamped simply with a number, #5905, rather than a maker's name, as was common for import pieces of this era.
Pair it with many of our hand-painted floral ceramic bowls for a coordinated display. Browse our shop for more vintage serveware to round out your collection.
