History: This charming set of six condiment dishes features a harmonious combination of traditional floral motifs and classic dragon medallions, framed by a blue geometric border. The pieces are unmarked but likely originate from mid to late 20th century China or Japan, created for the export market. Each dish has a softly rounded form with pale greenish dots along the interior walls and finely printed blue imagery at the base, including chrysanthemums, peonies, and dragons — symbols of prosperity, strength, and beauty in Asian art. These would have traditionally served soy sauce, pickled vegetables, or small side accompaniments.
