This set of Fukagawa Arita dishes has the “Water Wheel”/”Pagoda” pattern. On a creamy white background, there is a hand-painted Asian landscape in black and grays. The design includes mountains/hills, trees, rocks, a valley and the sun. These plates were made in Japan around the 1950’s. The plates are made of porcelain and rimmed in gold. The diameter of each plate is about 8”. There are no chips, cracks and/or stains on any of these plates. They are in pristine condition. {Arita ware (Japanese: Arita-yaki) is a broad term for Japanese porcelain made in the area around the town of Arita, in the former Hizen Province, northwestern Kyūshū island. It is also known as Hizen ware (Hizen-yaki) after the wider area of the province. This was the area where the great majority of early Japanese porcelain, especially Japanese export porcelain, was made. According to tradition, the Korean potter Yi Sam-pyeong (d. 1655), or Kanagae Sanbee, is often considered the father of Arita ware porcelain. The first porcelain made in Japan followed the discovery of porcelain clay near Arita near the end of the 16th century.} The item in the photos is the item you will receive.
