Antique porcelain dish, small, about 4" across. Hand painted and looks great. There is in the center some light residue, remember that for most of the last century ALL homes were smoking homes. I haven't tried to clean it and I don't know that it is really necessary. Hand painted in Japan, imported by a company in New York city for distribution to souvenir and gift shops out west so tourists could bring them back east (or further west). This little porcelain piece has seen some travel. It is very special and you likely won't see another like it anytime soon.
