Nice set of Ume dessert plates, plum blossom design, Dai Nippon - Blue Cobalt - Ø 18.5 cm - Fine porcelain - Japan - First half of the twentieth century

Seven cobalt blue plum blossom Japanese-style plates — Porcelain — Dai Nippon Seal — Early 20th Century

The charm of Japanese blue-and-white for a table full of gentleness.

This set brings together seven matching porcelain plates, each 18.5 cm in diameter. On their white ground, delicate blue cobalt flower branches unfold. A finely ornate border frames the motif and gives every plate a strong presence, whether laid on the table or displayed in a display case.

The decoration evokes the ume, the flowering plum tree. In Japan, its late-winter bloom is associated with the return of spring. This botanical inspiration, combined with the simplicity of blue and white, is the essence of the ensemble’s charm.

On the reverse is a blue seal bearing the inscriptions “Made in Japan” and “大日本” (Dai Nippon, “Grand Japan”). These plates are attributed to the first half of the 20th century.

The seven pieces are in excellent condition: none have any chips and none are broken. The photographs allow appreciation of their decoration and condition.

For shipping, each plate will be protected and individually wrapped. The pieces will be separated by packing materials, then placed in a reinforced carton suitable for porcelain transport.
