An exclusive for Max Schoenfeld, a Los Angeles distributor who worked with the finest Japanese porcelain houses of the mid-century and held select patterns under his initials — the MS backstamp confirms it. The varied tones of the pattern mix naturally with many other china styles. We carry dinner plates, bread and butter plates, and place settings in this pattern.

A worthy replacement, an elegant underplate for a candle or small planter, or a quiet detail on a tray or shelf.

Max Schoenfeld operated as a Los Angeles-based china distributor during the mid-20th century, commissioning exclusive patterns from Japanese porcelain houses and marking them with his own initials rather than the manufacturer's name — a common practice among American import distributors of the era who wanted to build a recognizable house brand around pieces made overseas.
