Historical & Cultural Context:
This piece is a late 20th-century Japanese decorative charger, made during a period when export porcelain was frequently marked for decorative use only due to concerns about lead-based enamels. The detailed hand-applied enamels mimic Shippo-yaki (Japanese cloisonné), though the base is glazed porcelain. These types of plates were popular as wall hangings or cabinet displays, often sold in upscale home décor stores or galleries.
Though modern, the aesthetic is rooted in classical Japanese flower symbolism:
Chrysanthemums (kiku) = longevity, imperial beauty
Peonies (botan) = wealth and honor
Vase with overflowing arrangement = abundance and harmony
