This is a very nice 9.5" diameter plate with handle cut outs and gold highlights. It is marked "NIPPON HAND PAINTED" in an round rising sun logo. A very nice rose pattern, surrounded by lots of gold decorations including the border, with very heavy gold on the handle area! The center is white porcelain, and the gold lines surround a pale yellow background, very attractive. We note one of the yellow panels has a sort of brown tint to it, appears to be factory original not damage or dirt, as it has the same texture as the other yellow panels. The is some very minor wear on the gold, but still very nice looking overall. In very good condition, no cracks, chips or damage. Very nice!
