Set of 18 Japanese Porcelain Plates Complete with Storage Box

19th century
Description

A beautifully presented set of eighteen Japanese porcelain plates, each measuring 15cm in diameter and housed in their original compartmentalised wooden storage box. The plates are delicately hand-painted with serene scenes of birds among grasses and wheat stalks, rendered in soft earthy tones with fine brushwork and subtle shading. The imagery evokes a quiet harmony with nature, typical of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The box itself bears calligraphic inscriptions and is divided into two protective compartments, with each plate carefully wrapped for preservation. A rare and complete ensemble that combines artistry, functionality, and cultural resonance—ideal for collectors or those seeking refined tableware with a story.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Japanese porcelain production developed significantly during the Edo and Meiji periods, heavily influenced by production centres such as Arita, Kutani, and Satsuma. Sets were commonly crafted for domestic dining or export, featuring hand-painted motifs depicting flora, fauna, and landscapes.

The plates are formed from high-fired kaolin clay resulting in a dense, white ceramic body finished with vitreous overglaze enamels. Storage boxes, known as tomobako, were typically constructed from light native woods such as paulownia or cedar with iron or brass fittings.

Authentic pieces frequently display irregularities consistent with hand throwing and hand painting, alongside kiln marks or maker inscriptions on the base. Original wooden storage boxes, often bearing brushed kanji calligraphy indicating the set count or artist signature, provide further evidence of period production.

Individual plates can be presented on wall hangers or acrylic stands inside open shelving, glass cabinets, or positioned on a sideboard top. Displaying the open wooden box alongside the plates creates an architectural focal point in dining spaces or living rooms.

Porcelain decorated with overglaze enamels should be hand washed using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads or dishwashers. Wooden storage boxes must be kept in stable humidity conditions away from direct sunlight to prevent timber warping or cracking.
