This set of 4 vintage Japanese porcelain salad plates features the iconic blue-and-white phoenix motif — a traditional symbol of rebirth, grace, and immortality in Japanese art. Each plate is made by Noritake, a prestigious ceramics house established in 1904. These are likely mid-century pieces, showcasing delicate hand-painted designs with slight, charming variations in color and form — a hallmark of artisan-made wares. • All plates marked “Made in Japan” and measures 8.5 inches in diameter • In vintage condition — some blue color fading in some spots consistent with age • Ideal for decorative display, elevated table settings, or ceramic collectors • Blue-and-white palette blends beautifully with both chinoiserie and modern interiors Diameter and pigmentation vary slightly per piece due to their handmade nature. Wabi sabi anyone? Looking to elevate your shelf or tablescape? These pieces add a refined, worldly touch.
