something found

pine cone motif plate made in Japan

While I was out thrifting I came across these beautiful plates and bowls.
The delicate pine cone motif caught my attention and the fact that the
dishes are white. The edges have gold and the set was made in Japan.
Some pieces are well used....

This little bowl is well used, to say the least.
Just thought I would share my fun find...

  3. What a great find, especially with the pinecone motif. I have some Japanese dishes with a silver edge. They are very tough and light but they don't work well in the microwave. That metallic edge can give you a nasty burn...be careful.

  4. Not to worry..I am not crazy about the microwave.
    In fact, I rarely use it.
    I will only hand wash these dishes. : )

  5. p.s. that "pine cone" keeps turning up in my life...
    I was speaking to someone yesterday who had been
    to Rome/Vatican and actually saw the large pine cone that sits in the courtyard of the Vatican.
    Tonight some one handed me a plate and when I removed the cookie there was a pine cone motif underneath the cookie!
