Otagiri Bittersweet Japan Midcentury Modern Luncheon Plate Settings Hamada Mashiko My set of Otagiri tableware was tucked deep in the folds of the attic since maybe the late 1970's. As I downsize, this is a set that must go to a new home. I chose my Midwinter set as my primary dinnerware and these were barely used. The set is the Bittersweet pattern and was made in Japan, probably in the 1960's. They are all hand made and hand decorated in the great tradition of Mashiko Japanese pottery. It was most likely produced in this or another major ceramic center. It has a beautiful oatmeal colored surface and the designs are lightly raised and very free form and flowing. The foot is lovely and raises the luncheon / side plate elegantly off the table. You can see tiny pot marks where it was fired in the kiln. There are some light scratches on both the front and reverse as shown but no chips, cracks or damage to any of the plates I am listing. The lunch plate is 7.25" on diameter and I am starting the "buy it now" with 12 lunch plates. Save on shipping by buying multiple pieces from the set. See my other auctions for more Bittersweet pieces to the place setting. If you do not know this beautiful stoneware, here is the information I found on the internet: .
