Vintage Japanese Cobalt Blue Porcelain Scalloped Plate | Radial Sunburst Pattern & Gold Trim

Add a pop of mesmerizing, deep color to your display with this stunning vintage Japanese porcelain small plate or shallow dish. The piece is finished in a brilliant, rich cobalt blue glaze that features a fine, radiating sunburst (or stylized chrysanthemum) pattern spanning from the center to the edges.

The dish is beautifully shaped with a gentle, flowing scalloped rim, highlighted by a delicate outer and inner ring of gold/gilt trim. Flipping the plate over reveals the same radial texture under a lighter blue glaze, centered around a square Japanese character seal (chop mark), indicating its authentic kiln origins—likely Arita or Mino ware. While originally intended as a small serving or dessert plate, pieces of this size and vibrant color are highly sought after today as elegant jewelry catchalls, trinket dishes, or striking cabinet display accents.

Grade: Very Good Vintage Condition

Details: The porcelain is structurally excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing. The cobalt glaze remains incredibly glossy and vibrant.
