History: This is a set of six porcelain dessert or side plates, molded in a stylized leaf shape with cobalt blue glaze and fine gold trim along the rim. The uniform coloring and lack of transfer decoration suggest a focus on mid-century modern aesthetic simplicity. The glaze application, form, and firing quality indicate mid-20th century production, likely from Japan or possibly West Germany, both of which exported such tableware extensively in the 1950s–70s. These types of plates were popular as part of postwar modernist tableware collections, designed for stylish serving of sweets or starters.
 
 
The absence of a backstamp or maker’s mark complicates attribution, but the overall form and cobalt blue glaze are reminiscent of Japanese export porcelain. The gold trim suggests a more decorative intention than everyday use. The value reflects aesthetic appeal, mid-century charm, and utility as a collectible or usable vintage serving set.
