This plate is from the "Contemporary" series by Noritake, a renowned Japanese maker beloved worldwide. As the "Contemporary FINE CHINA by Noritake JAPAN®" engraving on the back indicates, this product is a masterpiece made from the highest quality "fine china," and is a culmination of Noritake's outstanding craftsmanship and aesthetic sense.

The most striking feature is the delicate and elegant botanical design adorning the rim. Small blue and purple flowers are elegantly arranged, and green leaves and vines are naturally connected in a beautiful wreath pattern, giving the entire plate a sophisticated impression. The painting is done with an elegant, hand-painted touch, and the expression of each flower and leaf is warm.

The elegant scalloped (wave-shaped) edges create a classical elegance, and the delicate gold line decoration tightens the overall look. This gold will acquire a subdued luster over time, exuding the dignified beauty that is unique to vintage items.

The thin, lightweight yet strong material that is characteristic of fine china has the beautiful, transparent texture of white porcelain, and its high quality is even more apparent when held up to the light.
