This beautiful platter made by Sasai Ironstone is a masterpiece of hard pottery made in the Showa era. As shown by the engraving "SASAI IRONSTONE KENT DETERGENT PROOF JAPAN" on the back, this product is made of a hard ceramic called "ironstone", which boasts higher strength and durability than regular ceramics.

The most striking feature is the delicate floral decoration that adorns the edges. Flowers based on blue are elegantly arranged, and the addition of yellow accents creates an elegant yet gorgeous impression. This floral pattern is hand-painted and has a warm look.

The "DETERGENT PROOF" designation means that the product has high resistance to detergents, and shows that it is highly practical and will not fade or deteriorate even with daily use. Despite its large size of approximately 30 cm, it is easy to handle due to the lightness unique to hard ceramics, and can be used easily at the daily dining table.

The edges have an elegant scalloped finish, creating a classic and sophisticated impression. The beauty of white porcelain and the floral decoration are exquisitely balanced, making this a valuable vintage tableware that brings the retro charm of the Showa era to the modern dining table.

Recommended usage/applications

It is perfect for serving main dishes, and can beautifully present large dishes such as boiled dishes, stir-fried dishes, and salads. The floral decoration brightens up the dishes and makes it very useful when entertaining. Its appeal is that it is highly versatile and can be used with a variety of cuisines, both Japanese, Western, and Chinese.

It can also be used as a serving plate for parties or when welcoming guests. If you use it for hors d'oeuvres, fruits, sweets, etc., it will instantly give your dining table a gorgeous look. Due to its large size, it can also be used as a pedestal for holding multiple small bowls.

In everyday use, it brings a special feeling to the everyday table by serving the main dish during a family meal. The durability of hard porcelain allows it to withstand frequent use and cleaning in the dishwasher.

In addition to being used as tableware, it can also be used beautifully as a decorative tray in the entryway or living room, or as a stand for displaying seasonal accessories and miscellaneous goods.
