The saucer mirrors the cup's motif with a tiny bud on the opposite side, both bordered in platinum rather than the gold more typical of Mikasa's other lines. Stamped "Mikasa Bone China, FX030 Ovation, Japan," this retired pattern is beloved among collectors for its meditative quality and the luminous translucency of its bone china body.
A lovely gift for anyone drawn to minimalist, meditative design over florals and gilding.
Mikasa was founded in 1948 to import fine Japanese china to the American market, and by the 1980s and 90s had expanded into pattern lines like Ovation White that embraced a quieter, more minimalist aesthetic than its earlier, more traditional florals.
