Description from the seller
Kimura Toho – White Porcelain Rectangular Plate Set with Gilt Rim – Large & Small Serving Plates (2 Pieces)
Product Overview
This elegant vintage Japanese porcelain set consists of a large square serving plate and a matching smaller rectangular plate, both finished in glossy white porcelain with refined gilt accents along the rim.
The clean, minimalist design and gently curved form embody the understated elegance of Showa-period Japanese tableware. Both plates bear the underglaze mark "陶峰" (Toho) on the reverse.
Suitable for serving appetizers, sweets, sushi, or seasonal dishes, this refined set also makes an attractive addition to collections of vintage Japanese ceramics.
Product Details
Crafted from fine white porcelain, this matching plate set combines a lustrous glaze with delicate gilt decoration, creating a timeless and versatile design.
The subtly raised edges and softly curved profile give each plate an elegant appearance while providing practical functionality for serving food.
Both pieces bear the red underglaze signature "陶峰" (Toho) on the underside.
Kimura Toho was the second-generation head of Toseien, a kiln in Okayama Prefecture. In 1959, he received the Good Design Award at the Washington International Exhibition. His works are appreciated for their refined forms and functional beauty, reflecting the aesthetic ideals of postwar Japanese ceramics.
The restrained decoration and harmonious proportions make this set suitable for both everyday use and display.
