A nostalgic appearance This elegant square plate resembles the kind you'd find in a traditional Japanese restaurant. The refined, hand-painted design immediately catches the eye. Subtle gold accents scattered across the surface add a touch of sparkle and elegance. This product was made around the 1990s, but due to technical reasons, it is no longer possible to produce it, and it has been stored as deadstock. Its elegant appearance has remained beautifully unchanged over the years, making it very appealing.
