A beautiful pair of 19th-century Japanese blue and white porcelain plates from the late Edo period, attributed to the kilns of Arita. Each plate is hand-painted in cobalt underglaze with a lively floral motif, rendered in spontaneous, fluid brushstrokes that reveal the individuality of the artisan's hand.

These plates capture the quiet elegance of everyday porcelain from the Edo era - pieces made for use and enjoyment rather than export display. Subtle variations in tone, line, and form speak to their handmade origin and centuries-old firing process.

A beautifully authentic example of Edo-period Japanese porcelain - expressive, genuine, and full of the charm that only true handcraft can convey.
