Up for sale this week is this beautiful dinnerware from Nippon China, floral boquet pattern, with a ring of yellow X's and O's alternating around the edge in 2 separate rows. I believe this is the 10th mark in the 1891-1921 era. This is an oval vegetable bowl that measures 7 1/2" by 9 3/4" and is 2 1/2" deep. These don't look like they were used or handled much, as the paint is bright and trim is still in good condition.The lady that owned these had them stacked without anything in between each piece so some of the trim and gold is missing. It looks like she used all the dinner plates because they have faint utensil marks when you turn them in the light you can see these. They are also hand painted after they apply the glaze which is why the gold usually rubs off, but overall this set is in good condition. I believe this used to be a set for 12, but over the years pieces have been broke. I do have a complete set for 8, but I am listing everything separately. Please check out my store, as I have many specialty pieces for this set. There are imperfections in the glaze of these pieces, they did a heavy over glaze and when it went in the kiln, some of the bubbles would pop making irregularities in the piece, like small black spots or some runs. It is a beautiful design, and will set an elegant table. If you would like to buy more than 1 item just email for a price.
