Hira Fine China operated in Japan from at least the postwar period through the mid-1950s; their Tah-Kay pattern (also seen as "Tan-Kay") is uncommon. The backstamp reads "HIRA Fine China, Japan, Tah-Kay." The platter's formed handles are decorated with gold swirls, and a gold rim ties the composition together. At 16" long, this is a substantial platter.

Beautiful for a chinoiserie-inspired table, a spring or summer buffet, or paired with bamboo flatware and natural fiber linens for a considered outdoor aesthetic. A lovely gift for the chinoiserie collector, the Japan porcelain enthusiast, or anyone who sets a thoughtful seasonal table.

Tah-Kay is one of many uncommon patterns produced by small postwar Japanese china houses for the American export market, making surviving pieces genuinely hard to find today.
