AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is an official Limited Collection porcelain plate set produced by Nippon Animation, consisting of six collector plates from the historic World Masterpiece Theater series.
Set composition:
• 4 plates – Rascal the Raccoon
• 2 plates – The Dog of Flanders
Both titles are internationally celebrated classics and are recognized as foundational works of Japanese television animation, influencing the generation of creators who later established Studio Ghibli.
Official Markings (Important)
The reverse side of each plate bears official markings:
• Limited Collection ORIGINAL

The “Not for Sale” designation indicates that these plates were not intended for commercial retail, suggesting limited distribution such as commemorative or promotional release.
Complete sets with official Nippon Animation markings are rarely found on the international collector’s market.
Artistic and Historical Significance

The artwork on these porcelain plates faithfully reproduces the gentle atmosphere, expressive characters, and natural backgrounds that define these historically important animation works.
These plates represent an important era in Japanese animation history.

Seller's Story
I own a collection of vintage traditional Japanese items.
A large part of my collection consists of rare and increasingly difficult-to-find pieces of cultural and historical value.
I offer these valuable and becoming-scarce treasures to collectors outside Japan.
All items are shipped directly from Japan.
Each item is carefully packed using recyclable packaging materials to ensure safe delivery. However, please note that there is a small risk of damage during transportation due to handling by the shipping carrier.
Your feedback and review would be greatly appreciated.
