This beautiful platter by Sasai Ironstone is a masterpiece of hard porcelain produced during the Showa period. As the inscription "SASAI IRONSTONE KENT DETERGENT PROOF JAPAN" on the back indicates, this product is made from a hard porcelain called "ironstone," which boasts greater strength and durability than regular porcelain.

The most striking feature is the delicate floral decoration that adorns the border. The blue flowers are elegantly arranged with yellow accents, creating a refined yet vibrant impression. The floral pattern is hand-drawn with a touch of warmth.

The "DETERGENT PROOF" label indicates high resistance to detergents, and speaks to its practicality, with resistance to fading and deterioration even with everyday use. Although it is a large dish measuring approximately 30cm, its light weight, unique to hard ceramic, makes it easy to handle and suitable for everyday use at the dinner table.

The elegant scalloped edges create a classical and sophisticated impression. The exquisite balance between the beauty of the white porcelain and the floral pattern decoration makes this a valuable piece of vintage tableware that brings a Showa-era retro charm to the modern dining table.
