Chrysanthemum Plate Set

I am a set of Chrysanthemum plates. We were granted a magical spell that left us in a state of immortality. Where most of our plant genus is either annual or perennial, we never wilt. As our species come and go when the seasons change, we continue to remain just the same, a beautiful set of porcelain flowers to make your home a place of delight!

Curator’s Notes

Handcrafted in porcelain, these decorative plates has the texture of chrysanthemum petals on the interior to contrast with their smooth exterior. The set included three plates in various scales, so they can be used as decorative trays or serving dishes. They also look great against warm wood surfaces.
