Please read the whole description! On offer is a pair of Japanese Late Edo period (1800- 1868) Imari Blue and White Kashikis (Confectionary Plates/Trays).
They are approximately 20.2 cm long, 11.8 wide and 4.4 cm tall at the widest points. Please allow some fluctuations between the two, as they are hand-made and there might be some variation. Hand-painted throughout with Cobalt Oxide to create the blue and white effect. This is a truly matching pair having the exact same pattern.Recently sourced directly from Japan. A nice decorative pair or for actual use, alongside a piece for collectors. Condition Report : This pair is in very good antique condition. There are several firing faults that have resulted in some/various surface dents/holes.
General wear as expected with one of the two having some stains/accumulated dirt. But that cannot be helped as this is a very old pair. And there is no damage to any part. It is quite rare for a matching pair to have survived to this day without any damage. Priced for a quick sale. You are getting a matching pair of undamaged Kashikis of decent size. Should you need any additional info, please do not hesitate to ask me any questions.I would be very happy to assist you. Please study the photos provided as they form part of the description. Should you need more photos I would be very happy to provide you with them. What you see is what you get!
